Starting the '''WebClient''' service on the host computer resolves the issue. +== Rufus "Revoked UEFI bootloader detected" Warning == +In newer versions of Rufus (4.6 and later), you may encounter the following message: + +Revoked UEFI bootloader detected + +Rufus detected that the ISO you have selected contains a UEFI bootloader that has been revoked and that will produce a “Security Violation” screen, when Secure Boot is enabled on a fully up to date UEFI system. + +– If you obtained this ISO image from a non reputable source, you should consider the possibility that it might contain UEFI malware and avoid booting from it. + +– If you obtained it from a trusted source, you should try to locate a more up to date version, that will not produce this warning. + + +You may choose to press OK to continue. The message is not an error, but a warning from Rufus that pretty much all Microsoft Windows UEFI bootloaders prior to May 2023 are subject to the Black Lotus Secure Boot vulnerability and, as result, are in the process of being revoked by Microsoft. Since Microsoft is not rebuilding the old ISO's with new boot-loaders this is expected behavior, and basically, your stuck with seeing the warning in Rufus as long as you use an older ISO with the vulnerable bootloader. \ No newline at end of file
