Rufus has always been one of the best apps to create a bootable USB drive to install Windows 11. The latest version of the app now includes even more features to significantly deflate Windows 11 and remove Microslop before installing the operating system. The update even introduces a new “silent” mode for unattended installation.

Remove Teams, Outlook, Copilot and other Microsoft bloatware
Rufus has been one of the most popular tools for quickly creating a bootable disk. The latest stable version of Rufus is 4.13. However, its latest update, which is still in beta, includes several new features, especially for Windows 11 users.
In the future, Windows 11 users can disable Teams, Outlook, Copilot, and others Microsoft bloatware. Previous versions of Rufus allowed you to disable all hardware requirements mandated by Microsoft. The latest version improves things.
Rufus now allows Windows 11 users to turn off BitLocker. If that’s not impressive enough, Rufus can also modify the installation media to allow local (offline) profiles. Microsoft has consistently made it difficult to run Windows 11 without a Microsoft account. The new update clearly includes an as-yet-unpatched method that allows Windows 11 users to set up a local and offline account.
Install deflated Windows 11 silently
Rufus gets a new silent unattended installation script for Windows 11.
There are several modified or customized Windows ISOs floating around. Many of these allow Windows users to quickly install the operating system without needing to click OOBE (Out of the Box Experience). The latest version of Rufus now includes the ability to automate the installation process, making it even more streamlined.
The new “unattended” mode automates the entire installation process. If selected, the mode allows the created installation media to speed up the entire process without user intervention. It is important to note that the installation media is programmed to detect the first disk and install Windows 11 without a single message. Therefore, users will need to ensure that there are no other internal storage drives on their computer.
In addition to introducing the new unattended mode, there are new tooltips for all dialog boxes, making it easier to customize your installation media. Rufus has also improved support for Bazzite, includes fixes for Windows to Go, and more.

If Windows 11 users prefer to go the official route and don’t mind installing Windows 11 with everything Microsoft includes in the operating system, there is the Media Creation Tool app, which includes all the latest versions of Windows 11.
In addition to Windows 11, Rufus is also compatible with most popular Linux distributions (distributions). However, experienced users maybe you prefer Ventoy if they are always testing new Linux distributions.
