Software Update: Rufus 2.16

Version 2.16 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 2.16

• Add an audiovisual cue on completion/error

• Notify user when an ISO is broken or truncated
• Notify user if other processes are accessing the drive before format
• List processes that are locking a drive on failure
• Improve verbosity of the Windows To Go process
• Other fixes and improvements
