Rufus, a popular tool for creating Windows (or other OS) install media, has received a new preview update. Version 3.22 is now available for download from GitHub with several notable changes and improvements.

Rufus 3.22 introduces the ability to disable automatic BitLocker encryption in the Windows User Experience dialog. This feature joins several existing options that let you personalize your Windows 11 install media, such as removing the requirement for 4GB of RAM, Secure Boot, TPM, and an online Microsoft account.


Other changes in Rufus 3.22 Beta include SHA-1 and SHA-256 x86 acceleration on supported processors and the ability to save logs between sessions. On the downside, with Rufus 3.22, Windows 7 users can no longer download ISO files using the app.
