Download Rufus 3.7

Version 3.7 of Rufus has been released. Rufus is a Windows program that can be used to create self-starting USB sticks. Useful, for example, to install an operating system, which is faster from a USB stick than from a CD or DVD, to update the bios or to access a system that no longer wants to start. Incidentally, there are a large number of tools with which this can be done, but Rufus claims to be one of the fastest of its kind. Since version 3.0, the program has been given a slightly different look and support for Windows XP and Vista has been dropped. The following improvements have also been made in version 3.7:

Changes in version 3.7:

• Finalize persistent partition support for Debian and Ubuntu:
  • Debian with persistence should work out of the box with any recent Debian Live ISO.
  • Ubuntu with persistence should also work IF using a post 2019.08.01 ISO (such as daily live).
    Note that because of bug #1489855trying to use persistence with Ubuntu ISOs that were released before August 2019 will only result in rescue mode during boot – You have been warned!
  • Other distros may work with persistence as long as they use a Debian-like or Ubuntu-like method, and, in the case of Ubuntu-like, if they use casper with the #1489855 bugfix.
• Add cheat mode (Alt) to switch between percent/speed/ETA on some operations [EXPERIMENTAL]
• Report SuperSpeed+ devices in the log (Come on USB-IFjust add “Ludicrous Speed” already!)
• Fix UI checkboxes (Extended label, Fixes for old BIOSes) being cleared on START
• Fix Can’t mount GUID volume regression when creating Windows To Go drives
• Fix Volume label is invalid error with empty labels on Windows 7
• Fix stale progress bar during standalone ext2/ext3 formatting
• Fix an extraction failure with R-Drive Image bootable ISOs
• Disable ISO mode for Pop!_OS
• Other cosmetic and internal improvements
