Software Update: Rufus 1.4.5

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. Version 1.4.4 was released on Wednesday and the day after due to a small error 1.4.5. Below you will find everything that has changed.
