Creating loader USB under Windows 1709

[Gronaldo]

All,  after the Windows 1709 update I cannot successfully create or read the USB bootdisk loader, using Win32Imager 1.0. Somehow Windows seems to limit access to the USB device and partitions. Using a previous version of Windows, 1703, even as a VM on the same PC, works all fine. 

 

So i found my workaround, but i am surprised not to see any similar issues reported here?

I'm running 1715 without any issues.

Sure? Releases

I haven't noticed anything different through all the Win10 versions I've had.

 

Do a DISKPART clean on your stick and try again.  Maybe starting fresh will clear the issues up.

Thanks, will take a look.

 

Funny thing is;

- Working bootdisks (created earlier or newly in VM with Win1703) cannot be read correctly

- Same issues at 3 different PC's (new install 1709 or upgraded earlier versions)

- Not USB drive dependent, preparation or partioning done as usual

- Used to be able to read bootdisk and edit config files directly, not posible anymore, besides on older Win versions.

 

Very strange....
