Rufus now includes a BitLocker disable option in addition to Windows 11 TPM, Secure Boot, and MSA removal.

Rufus’ latest final version was released a few hours ago. The new update, version 3.22, which was released as a beta last week, adds the ability to disable BitLocker encryption from the Windows User Experience window. Rufus previously added support for Windows 11 RAM, Secure Boot, TPM 2.0, and Microsoft Account (MSA) requirements.

Furthermore, this is the final Rufus version that will support Windows 7 ISO files. The update also addresses an SSD issue and adds SHA-1 and SHA-256 acceleration, among other things. The complete changelog is available below:

• Add SHA-1 and SHA-256 x86 acceleration on CPUs that support it (#2090, courtesy of Jeffrey Walton)
