Version 3.18 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. There are a large number of tools that can do this, but Rufus claims to be one of the fastest of its kind. The following changes and improvements have been made in this release:
