   Universal USB Installer greyed out

   I've been using Rufus without problems for a while, but before, I always   
   used Universal USB Installer. Today I remember why I switched.   
      
      
      
   I connect a flash drive, start Universal USB Installer 2.0.2.8, select   
   the drive, but then I'm stuck. I can not perform step 2 (selecting an   
   ISO). 'Redetect Disk' doesn't solve it and when I check 'Prepare this   
   Device' some things are installed and it renders the flash drive   
   unreadable under Windows. W11 doesn't even detect the drive anymore.   
      
   Doesn't matter if the drive is formatted FAT32 or NTFS or if it is USB 2   
   or 3. Drag and drop the ISO doesn't work.   
      
   I suspected W11's safety settings are to blame, but it doesn't work   
   (anymore) under W7 either. However, it does work with v2.0.1.0. There's   
   a minor difference in the menu, but maybe something else was changed?   
      
   I can go ahead and use Rufus, but I'm bothered by the fact that   
   Universal USB Installer doesn't work anymore. Anybody know how I can   
   solve this?
