![]() ![]() i’m not trying to give microsoft or windows a bad name… but, that’s what i found… because i regulary send the sample file to clamav, everytime i’m installing fresh-clean windows version (windows 10, windows 2012 server, windows 2019 server). but… nope… the trojan still arise after a fresh-clean install… i don’t think it’s a false positive. i’m still doing that procedure to the latest windows 10 and windows 2019 server iso, only to see, if there is any changes. what tickles me is, once you delete them (all infected files i’m working offline with linux), then run the windows, windows will download the infected the files again along with updates. it seem like, while installing, the background process is assembling trojan. but, once you install windows to your fresh-clean hdd (just windows without any additional software) then scan it with clamav… there you go, you got your trojan. if you extract the iso, clamav wont find any trojan. Anything that prevents their dogma: Embrace, Extend, Extinguish must be eradicated, root and stem.ĭidn’t you ever realize? fresh-clean install from official microsoft windows iso, since windows 2012 server (also windows 10 at that time), clamav still find detectinf trojan. Microsoft may be an old fox by now, and while it also may have lost hair, it didn’t lose it ways. Rufus making it very convenient for users to create Windows installers that skip over their Microsoft account creation procedure…that is one step too far in the eyes of Microsoft. And then holding their data hostage until they have acquired enough funds again to get their access back. Microsoft wants the same for their platform, nickel-and-diming their customers’ wallets till those are empty. One they saw Apple execute to (near) perfection and because they don’t seem to suffer much consequences doing so. And apparently doesn’t want this choice removed from Windows 11 Pro edition as well. Microsoft doesn’t allow for it with Windows 11 Home edition anymore. Whether you want a Microsoft account or not, it should always be the user’s own choice. The latest change in Rufus, allowing for local accounts instead of Microsoft accounts, will have triggered spite at Microsoft. ![]() Now You: have you used Rufus in the past? Why do you think is Microsoft blocking downloads? ![]() We contacted Microsoft to find out more about the issue, but have not heard back yet. Another advantage was that the entire process was integrated in a single program. With Rufus and Fido, users could pick different versions for download. While it is possible to download official ISO images from Microsoft, downloads are limited to specific builds only. The developer is asking for help to find a way around this limitation. It appears that Microsoft purposefully made their download servers hostile to our script, and trying to fix this is likely to take a long time. The Fido 1.30 changelog confirms the change as well:ĭisable Windows 8 ? Windows 11 ISO downloads According to the information published there, Microsoft made a deliberate change to prevent downloads from any other source than its own website. A visit to the Windows 11 Download page on the Microsoft website continues to provide users with ISO images when they request them.Ī link to a thread on GitHub is provided where the matter is discussed. ![]() Microsoft is still offering Windows ISO image downloads from its own website. It is unclear why Microsoft is not blocking Windows 7 downloads as well. Windows 7 ISO downloads are still supported and work just like before. It states:Įrror: Download of Windows ISOs is no longer available due to Microsoft having altered their website to prevent it. The current error message is displayed after selecting an operating system version in the downloader. Now, Rufus users are receiving error messages on attempts to download Windows 8, 10 or 11 using Rufus. The script pulled download information from Microsoft servers and downloads were provided by Microsoft. Options to bypass Windows 11 system requirements during Inplace upgrades and to create local accounts instead of Microsoft accounts, and to deny privacy questions outright, were added in 2022.ĭownloads are powered by the Fido script in Rufus, and this worked fine ever since the functionality was introduced. The developer has added more features to Rufus in the meantime that improved the program for some Windows administrators and users significantly. The ability to download Windows 8, Windows 10 and Windows 11 ISO images was a welcome feature addition, as it made the process of creating Windows boot media more comfortable. Options to download Windows ISO images was introduced in Rufus 3.5, which the developer released in 2019. Rufus can once again download ISO images from Microsoft. Update: The developers have found a way around the block and released an update. ![]()
