Earlier this month, Ventoy, a widely used tool for creating bootable media for various operating systems, received its 6th-anniversary update, which brought a range of stability improvements and fixes. Now, a couple of weeks later, developers released another update. Version 1.1.12 is now available for download with four additional fixes for Linux and Windows.
The changelog contains four bug fixes: two for Windows and two for Linux. For Windows users, Ventoy 1.1.12 patches display issues in VirtualBox UEFI (by the way, this week, VirtualBox received an important servicing update; check its changelog here) and a resolution bug in WinPE.
For Linux, the update addresses Ubuntu 24.04.4 installation failures and bugs with Oracle Linux 6.9.
Here is the full changelog:
- Bugfix for ubuntu24.04.4 install failure. (#3567)
- Fix the VirtualBox UEFI display issue when booting Windows. (#3570)
- Improve for UEFI boot Windows/WinPE resolution issue fix.
- Fix Oracle Linux 6.9 install issue.
Ventoy is available for free download on GitHub (it is also open source). Unlike apps like Rufus or Media Creation Tool from Microsoft, Ventoy lets you put multiple operating systems on your media and select whichever you want or need. It is also very straightforward in use, allowing you to create bootable media by simply copying images to the drive. The list of tested operating systems is very extensive.
If a massive list of Linux distros is not what you are looking for, and you would rather have a tool that focuses on Windows and its features, check out the latest Rufus update, which introduced some seriously useful stuff for debloating Windows 11. And those who need none of that can always opt for the good old Media Creation Tool and its vanilla experience.
