Hello all,

I tried Vantoy 1.1.11 on an USB stick but...on my 10 years old computer (the BIOS isn't UEFI) , I have like a 256 colours screen, no mouse and all is slow (please see the video )

Please could you help me ?

1. Add arm64 linux build. Now iVentoy can run in arm64 machine. (e.g. Raspberry PI)
   
   
2. Only 64-bit Windows builds will be provided in future updates.
   
   
3. Fix the ISO uploading issue.
   
   
4. Fix some boot issue for Windows7, WindowsServer 2012R2.
   
   
5. Bugfix
   

Hello, 
I'm new to Ventoy. I've managed to get it working with Mint and Kali ISOs using persistence, 
but I'm stuck with tuxedo persistence. Has anyone tried and succeeded in getting it to work? 
Regards, Bertrand

hello everyone, I'm trying to install Windows 11 via Iventoy with a response file on a Dell laptop in UEFI mode, the disks seem to crash and the installation begins, but an error is written at 55% when installing Windows 11. My unattended.xml:

Don't pay attention to the smiley face in unattended.xml

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. Also a BIOS update did also not help.

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

今天要给华为RH2288H v2服务器装系统，BIOS里改为EFI引导，重启后无法识别ventory的U盘引导。

• 2026/04/11 --- 1.0.26 release
  

1. Add ISO file upload feature.
   
   
2. Add Default Page Language option.
   
   
3. Windows version can now be registed as a system service and startup on boot. Note
   
   
4. Windows version use the default browser to open the page
   
   
5. Bugfix.
   

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.

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!
