Additionally (if applicable):

• [ ] I ran a bad blocks check, by clicking Show advanced format options then Check device for bad blocks, and confirmed that my USB is not defective.
• [ ] I also tried one or more of the following:
  • [ ] Using a different USB drive.
  • [ ] Plugging the USB into a different port.
  • [ ] Running Rufus on a different computer.
• [ ] If using an image, I clicked on the (✓) button to compute the MD5, SHA1 and SHA256 checksums, which are therefore present in the log I copied. I confirmed, by performing an internet search, that these values match the ones from the official image.

Issue description

<FULL LOG>

Can you please add option to Disable BitLocker automatic device encryption? It's anoying that bitlocker encryption is turned on all all drivers by default on my new HP notebook with 12gen cpu.

This can be done by adding registry key as below.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/device-experiences/oem-bitlocker#disable-bitlocker-automatic-device-encryption

Disable BitLocker automatic device encryption OEMs can choose to disable device encryption and instead implement their own encryption technology on a device. To disable BitLocker automatic device encryption, you can use an Unattend file and set PreventDeviceEncryption to True. Alternately, you can update this registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\BitLocker Value: PreventDeviceEncryption equal to True (1).

Thank you.

Issue description

When 'C:\Temp' is a symlink(SSD => HDD), mounting boot.wim fails with the Could not mount 'F:\sources\boot.wim [2]' on 'C:\Temp\Ruf70C9.tmp': [0x00000057] The parameter is incorrect. error. When symlink is replaced with real folder, all succeeds. So, symlink can be resolved and real path to mount point obtained or some another REAL path could be used instead, whatever is easier. User should never be forced to change configuration which OS itself, all the drivers and another programs accept.
