Rufus freeware - The Latest Versions History
4.9.2256 Jun 16, 2025 New Release Fix downloads from https://rufus.ie no longer working due to recent GitHub server changes
Fix unofficial Windows ISOs, with single index WIMs, not presenting the WUE dialog
Also from Rufus 4.8:
Switch to wimlib for all WIM image processing:
Greatly speeds up image analysis when opening Windows ISOs
Can speed up Windows To Go drive creation (But won't do miracles if you have a crap drive)
Might help with Parallels limitations on Mac (But Rufus on Parallels is still unsupported)
Enables the splitting of >4GB files with Alt-E (But still WAY SLOWER than using UEFI:NTFS)
Switch to using Visual Studio binaries everywhere, due to MinGW DLL delay-loading limitations
Add more exceptions for Linux ISOs that restrict themselves to DD mode (Nobara, openSUSE, ...)
