Exclamation iVentoy stuck on new firmware
Posted by: roy - 1 hour ago - Forum: iVentoy Discussion Forum - No Replies

Hi, I use iVentoy to deploy windows on some machines, but I recently experienced some issues on new firmware. When I select PXE boot in the BIOS iVentoy downloads and then gets stuck and not showing the menu. Originally I used iVentoy version 1.0.21 but also tried 1.0.25 and 1.0.26, this did not make a difference.

I tried different BIOS settings and different boot files to no avail.
The same config and images still work on the older motherboards, and the logs from both are almost identical.

Machine boots successfully
UEFI version 2.22.189 - 2024 AMI
Motherboard: ASUS Pro WS TRX50-SAGE WIFI

  Download link for pro version
Posted by: iXo - 8 hours ago - Forum: iVentoy Discussion Forum - No Replies

Hi,

I received an email about the version 1.0.26, and I have a licence for the pro version.

In this email, the link goes to https://github.com/ventoy/ivtoy/releases/tag/v1.0.26

This link is invalid.

In this email, it list that there is 6 assets : 

[Image: Copie-d-cran-20260415-102811.png]

But, if I go here : https://github.com/ventoy/PXE/releases/tag/v1.0.26 I can't find the pro version.

Where can I download the pro version?

  安装Ventoy后U盘的Windows下面识别及其缓慢
Posted by: venster - 03-19-2026, 02:27 PM - Forum: Ventoy Discussion Forum - Replies (1)

我有两个U盘，都出现了安装Ventoy后在Windows下面识别极其缓慢的问题，有时候插上去过十几分钟才能识别，偶尔过了十多分钟直接提示信号灯超时，而无法识别的情况。但是U盘一旦识别，则使用完全正常，拷贝文件速度没有任何问题，也可以正常弹出。识别过程中资源管理器处于卡死状态， 磁盘管理器无法打开，任务管理器显示U盘的占用时间为100%，如果一旦拔出U盘，整个系统立刻恢复正常。如果打开事件管理器，会发现报告大量disk相关错误。
如果对U盘直接重新分区抹掉ventoy，则U盘一切正常，插上就可以正常使用，不存在识别难度，但是一旦重新做成ventoyU盘，则立刻复现此问题，即使是刚做完的空白ventoyU盘也是这样，跟里面放置多少iso没关系。
这个现象从win 11 24H2开始出现，一直延续到现在，每个ventoy版本都发现过。在win10上没发现这个问题，同样的U盘在24H2上识别困难，在win10上可以正常的速度识别。
问题跟电脑没有关系，即使是新安装的操作系统没有联网也会这样。经常出现用来安装系统的ventoyU盘在安装过程中一切正常，但是进入系统后，反而因为识别问题需要等好久才能使用。
在网络上见到过不少这个问题的帖子，但是似乎都没有给出明确的答案。

Hiyall,
I am ancient and need all the help I can get! With the help of a friend, I managed to make a Ventoy USB for Linux Mint that works well. I now want to install Tiny10 on a separate Ventoy USB to install on an Oracle VirtualBox. Following the instructions I was given for the Linux Mint-based Ventoy doesn't seem to work.

I would appreciate instructions in the following format: Do 1., then  Do 2, etc.

  Best way to manage multiple ISO versions on Ventoy?
Posted by: lucaspalm - 03-04-2026, 09:31 AM - Forum: Ventoy Discussion Forum - Replies (1)

Hi everyone,
I’ve been using Ventoy for a while and it works great for most ISOs.
But I’m wondering how others organize multiple versions of the same ISO (like Windows/Linux) without filling up the USB too quickly.
Do you rename ISOs, use folders, or something else?
Thanks for any tips!

  Is it possible to view other files instead of just ISO, img .......?
Posted by: EtaBeta - 02-01-2026, 12:42 AM - Forum: Ventoy Discussion Forum - Replies (3)

Good morning, I have a request, if possible.
On my Ventoy USB drive I use a folder structure, for example:

Code:
/ISO/Windows 
/ISO/Linux 
and so on.
I also created a folder called Misc Software, where I keep Windows executable programs, video guides, DOCX documents, and much more.
I would like to know if it is possible to view its contents when booting the USB drive with Ventoy.
Please note: I only mean viewing the files, not running them. I am aware that I can view the contents simply by opening the Misc Software folder, but to do that I need an operating system to be running.
So, if I need to check what the above-mentioned folder contains, I can’t do it directly from Ventoy.
I would like to know if there is a procedure to do this; otherwise, thank you anyway for reading this far.
Thank you.

  Need a working configuration for dnsmasq
Posted by: anku7 - 01-23-2026, 12:41 PM - Forum: iVentoy Discussion Forum - No Replies

I have a router running the DHCP server and I want to use dnsmasq as a DHCP proxy for iVentoy.
The router has the address 192.168.1.1 and gives addresses in the range 192.168.1.x

The dnsmasq server runs on Ubuntu and the iVentoy server runs on Windows address 192.168.1.102

The following config does not work:
port=0
log-dhcp

dhcp-range=192.168.1.0,proxy

pxe-service=x86PC,"Test",iventoy_loader_16000,192.168.1.102

dhcp-no-override

  QEMU + Ventoy USB: UEFI boot always drops to EFI Shell instead of auto-boot
Posted by: EtaBeta - 01-22-2026, 08:29 PM - Forum: Ventoy Discussion Forum - No Replies

Post (English – faithful translation)
Hello,
I am trying to boot a Ventoy USB drive in UEFI mode using QEMU with OVMF, but QEMU always drops into the EFI Shell instead of automatically booting Ventoy.
What works

  • The Ventoy USB boots correctly on real hardware in UEFI mode
  • The Ventoy USB boots correctly in QEMU using Legacy/BIOS mode
  • From the EFI Shell, manual boot works:

    fsX:cd EFI\BOOTBOOTX64.EFI
  • After running this, Ventoy starts normally.
What does NOT work
  • Automatic UEFI boot when using QEMU
  • Even when using:
    • startup.nsh
    • placed in the root of the USB
    • Clean or regenerated OVMF VARS files
    • Passing the USB drive directly as a raw block device
      QEMU still always boots into the EFI Shell.
Environment
  • Host OS: Linux
  • QEMU:
    qemu-system-x86_64
  • UEFI firmware:
    OVMF_CODE_4M.fd
  • +
    OVMF_VARS_4M.fd
  • USB drive passed as a raw block device
  • Standard Ventoy layout (GPT with EFI partition)
Minimal QEMU command (manual boot only works)

Code:
sudo qemu-system-x86_64 \
  -m 2048 \
  -drive if=pflash,format=raw,readonly=on,file=/usr/share/OVMF/OVMF_CODE_4M.fd \
  -drive if=pflash,format=raw,file=/usr/share/OVMF/OVMF_VARS_4M.fd \
  -drive file=/dev/sdX,format=raw
Question
Is this a known limitation or incompatibility between:
  • QEMU + OVMF
  • and Ventoy UEFI boot from a USB device?
Are there:
  • recommended QEMU settings for Ventoy UEFI boot?
  • known workarounds (other than manual EFI Shell boot)?
  • an explanation of why OVMF does not automatically detect
    BOOTX64.EFI
  • on the Ventoy USB?
Thanks in advance for any clarification.
