Software Update: Rufus 2.15.1117

Version 2.15 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. The following changes and improvements have been made in this release:

Changes in version 2.15

• Fix non-listing of drives that are opened for write access by another process
• Report external processes that may be preventing disk access (in the log)
• Improve Windows To Go support for Windows 10 Creators Update
• Don’t report an error on checkdisk failure
• Update GRUB 2.0 and Grub4DOS to latest
• Other fixes and improvements

Changes in version 2.14

• Fix inability to create BIOS-bootable drives, in some circumstances, due to write sharing permissions
