Hi,

Great job on Ventoy! It is a great utility and works wonderfully well.

Be aware of a potential issue with naming lists of images that are permitted "white-lists," and those that are not permitted "black-lists." This legacy naming convention has been raised by certain community activists as insensitive to certain ethnic and racially identified groups.

A common workaround is to refer to "allow-lists" in place of "white-lists," and "block-lists" in place of "black-lists".

Best regards.

OK i have created a custom win10PE with multiple apps. I can boot to the ISO on a virtual machine no problem. I can boot to a exfat formatted ventoy usb no problems.

My issue is when I format the partition to ntfs, the WinPE os boots, but none of my preinstalled apps are showing..

been trying all day.. is frustrating me lol

any help greatly appreciated.

FYI. I used WinpeSE builder for theoven org site, if that is of any use.

thanks in advance.

We ship USB images all over the world and need to ensure that the installers have not corrupted the installation ISO.

Is there a way to either encrypt or write protect Part 1?
