Download Rufus 3.20

Version 3.20 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. There are a large number of tools that can do this, but Rufus claims to be one of the fastest of its kind. The following changes and improvements have been made in this release:

Changes in version 3.20:

• Enable applicable Windows User Experience options for Windows 10
• Remember last Windows User Experience selection between sessions
• Add automatic local account creation and regional options duplication
  (NB: This is limited to creating an account with the same name as the current user and with an empty password that the user will be prompted to change after first reboot)
• Add a workaround for ISOs that have a syslinux symbolic link to /isolinux/ (Knoppix)
• Revert to offline insertion of registry keys for the TPM/SB/RAM bypass where possible
• Remove storage bypass, since this is a bogus bypass that doesn’t do anything
• Improve BIOS compatibility when displaying the “UEFI boot only” alert message
• Fix Windows User Experience dialog appearing twice for Windows To Go
• Fix Windows User Experience options not being applied for ARM64
• Fix Microsoft Account bypass not being applied unless TPM/SB/RAM bypass is selected
• Fix overeager detection of GRUB2 bootloaders with nonstandard prefixes
