And I just don't have the time to add a massive kludge to Rufus so that it remains compatible with old versions of Windows in order to simply display a message stating that it is not compatible. and therefore display a message that says that Rufus is incompatible. The most frequent installation filenames for the program include: update.exe, rufus-3.3.exe, rufus-3.11.exe, rufus-3.10.exe and rufus-3.1. The most recent installation package that can be downloaded is 1.1 MB in size. This free software is a product of akeo.ie.

Oh, and in case you wonder, I looked into a way to add a message that would say something like This version of Rufus is not compatible with this platform when launching it on older version of Windows, but the problem is that, the whole point of dropping XP and Vista is so that I could upgrade the default libraries being used on Rufus launch, so that I can use more modern APIs, which of course prevents the application from launching altogether on old platforms. The 3.18 version of Rufus is available as a free download on our software library. The integration of download options for Windows ISO images is a welcome addition to Rufus. This download is licensed as freeware for the Windows (32-bit and 64-bit) operating system on a laptop or desktop PC from disk management without restrictions. If you run into the same issue you may download the PowerShell script manually and run it to get a Windows ISO image that way. If you are running Windows XP or Windows Vista, please be mindful that, as mentioned multiple times on the homepage, Rufus 3.x is NO LONGER compatible with these platforms, and what you describe is exactly what's expected to happen there. Rufus 3.5 is available as a beta currently and bugs like this are to be expected.

If using an image, I clicked on the (вњ“) button to compute the MD5, SHA1 and SHA256 checksums, which are therefore present in the log I copied.

Plugging the USB into a different port.

I also tried one or more of the following:.

I ran a bad blocks check, by clicking Show advanced format options then Check device for bad blocks, and confirmed that my USB is not defective.

The log I am copying is the FULL log, starting with the line Rufus version: x.y.z - I have NOT removed any part of it.

I clicked the 'Log' button in Rufus (last small blue button before START) and copy/pasted the log into the line that says below.

I performed a search in the issue tracker for similar issues using keywords relevant to my problem, such as the error message I got from the log.

I looked at to see if my question has already been answered.
