    It doesn't propose the download of Windows 11 23H2 anymore :confused:

    That's because Rufus downloads the ISOs directly from Microsoft, and Microsoft removed the 23H2 ISOs from their servers, so, obviously, Rufus cannot download ISOs that are no longer being made available by Microsoft.

    Tried new Rufus v4.6 and I got an interesting warning about secureboot not working on custom ISO image. This was just a standard iso made using the normal settings we all use with oscdimg.exe (often renamed to cdimage.exe)
    I was updating a win10 LTSC iot iso with latest updates on Win10ui script that @abbodi1406 made and I noticed this new warning error.
    Does anyone know how to make a secureboot compliant custom iso, or is that just impossible when it's not compiled by MS?

    I am confused as to how exactly secureboot works and how it knows the difference between version 2.0 and version 3.0
    Is it some kind of new hardware that demands it? A bios update? Is it a windows update that somehow updates the UEFI settings?
    I am getting that we could get a workaround for this issue using a signed bootloader. I'm just confused as to how it starts in the first place.

    How to check if KB5025885 is installed on my system? My updates history only goes back to KB503nnnn.

    KB5025885 is not a Windows Update KB (though it might ultimately become one). Instead, it stands for the actual original meaning of KB, which means Knowledge Base (i.e. just some documentation that may be of interest to Windows users).

    Microsoft bastardised the term KB when they started to refer to update packages with the Knowledge Base article that was associated to it, and that it was meant to fix, so most people now associate KB with "update package", but that is not the case. Not every KB has a corresponding Windows Update package. And that is the case for KB5025885, which is just a set of guidelines that Windows users can manually follow and apply if they think it relevant for them.

    So, right now, unless you manually followed the steps from the KB5025885 documentation, "KB5025885" has not been applied to your computer.

    Good day,

    I am trying to get a paid version of a Ram Memory testing ISO I own, (GoldMemory) to work on a UEFI PC. I attempted to use Rufus UEFI:NTFS, but I get, could not locate efi\boot\bootloaderx64.efi error.

    The reading I did, I suspect theres nothing I can do for this, but thought I would see if someone here has came across this and had a genius moment to know how to fix it
