Did Microsoft revoke uefi bootloader from windows 10 22h2 iso?

verified the checksum which is included on the page, but when I try to create a bootable USB with Rufus, I am getting a warning: 

 

  • No, Microsoft has not revoked the UEFI bootloader from the Windows 10 22H2 ISO. If your checksum matches the official one, the ISO is genuine. The warning from Rufus is common and usually means your USB or the way you're creating it may not be matching your BIOS/UEFI settings—not that the ISO is bad. Just double-check your Rufus settings (MBR/GPT, UEFI/Legacy) to match your computer’s firmware.

    It sounds like you're referring to the "This PC" folder (previously called "My Computer") that you want to see in File Explorer.

    Found a reddit post about this by googling "rufus 22h2 revoked."  They said to just hit ok and it shouldn't be a problem.
