I genuinely have no issue with people wanting to use whichever method they like, even if it happens not to be the one I developed.
However, I'm just going to point out a few things:
First of...
Recent versions of Windows 10 should be fine with a non "FIXED" drive (though the official tool may not let you create it).
Up to another Windows 10 release that I can't recall right now (1803?),...
If you are interested, I know of 2 other alternatives, besides the one Rufus uses, for the >4GB issue.
The first one, which is the most obvious and which dism will happily do, is to split the...
Well, considering that I'm not limiting myself to only trying to help people on a specific forum, I do have of course a different view as I do tend to get reports from users who are using the Windows...
Pity. Maybe you should place a little bit of trust in people who have been spending the last 5 years designing software that ensures that you can boot and install Windows exactly as if you were doing...
Hi Rufus developer here.
That's a very common misconception. However, this is inaccurate as explained at length in the Rufus FAQ.
Any UEFI computer can be made to boot from an NTFS...
Yet, as I explain in the FAQ entry, they happily sign Linux shims, that, in turn, allow the very same GPLv3 binaries they don't want to sign, such as GRUB 2, to run.
Clearly, if Microsoft's...
Rufus developer here.
First of all, it seems that, despite being pointed to read the complete, not-so-long, FAQ entry where I explain, clearly, that I would have no issue whatsoever paying to have...
Actually, you can find a few official Microsoft ISOs with >4GB install.wim here and there.
For instance, en_windows_10_multiple_editions_version_1703_updated_june_2017_x64_dvd_10725021.iso, which...
Hi, Rufus author here.
No. There's no need for a special flash drive (or even one with the fixed attribute). The UEFI:NTFS partition that Rufus installs is copied wholesale, because it's very...
Ah shoot! This might be a bug I introduced with version 2.11.
Please try with version 2.10 and see if that works better. If I can confirm the bug, I'll get it fixed in 2.12.
You should however...
Dual BIOS/UEFI installation drives are disabled by default in Rufus, to prevent people realizing that they got through an install in BIOS mode when they wanted UEFI mode.
However, if you really...
Log would be nice, but it probably won't tell much than what we already saw with 10547. For the record, Rufus doesn't need to be installed, so you can just download the app, select FreeDOS as the...
Okay, a few things - First of all, if you have an issue with Rufus, you should try to use the official issue tracker, as I only stumble onto these kind of forum posts when actively looking for...
I can answer that (if I still may). This issue from the official issue tracker will be updated to reflect the new outcome and that's it, because that is the place to do so. I expect people who are...
I don't mind if all the Rufus related posts in this thread are relocated to a new Rufus specific one, as I agree it would help defuse the situation. Could a moderator please do that?
Well, there's one thing you guys need to understand: I'll do whatever it takes to improve Rufus or try to figure out what causes an issue. That's the "price" of that free application you get: I do...
You're not willing to help. Got ya!
Okay, then I'll just reiterate that, if you observe a weird behaviour that you think is caused by Rufus, you are strongly invited to open a new issue in its github issue tracker. This is what I...
By files, I think you mean ISO images, right? So your issue was only when creating a Windows 10 bootable USB using Rufus. Well, that's new information. But it still doesn't give me critical details...
Regular (non "Secure") Lexar drives should be no issue with Rufus. And of course, any USB Flash Drive, not just Lexar, is expected to be affected by the flaw from 10547. So there's nothing out of the...
I sure would like to see a log then. The "in use" message should usually come before Rufus attempts to write anything to the drive, so I'm puzzled your drive would disappear altogether. Or maybe you...
Is that consistent behaviour? Or is it a one off observation?
Also, are you debating that there is a major issue, confirmed by many reports on the insider feedback app, with regards to safely...
OK, I feel like people may rightfully wonder at this stage: "Surely if other formatting applications don't seem to have a problem, this has to be Rufus issue, right?", so let me explain a little bit...
