Rufus devs blame Microsoft for blocking latest Windows 11 ISOs, resulting in IP bans — Windows Insiders can't download latest Insider ISOs and are met with IP bans

Microsoft's recent changes to Windows 11 downloads are reportedly causing issues for users and third-party sources trying to download Windows 11 ISOs, with some Windows Insiders facing IP bans when attempting to access the latest Insider ISOs. The developers of Rufus have pointed the blame at Microsoft, stating that the company is blocking their IP addresses, preventing them from installing the latest Windows 11 Insider Preview ISOs. While there is no direct confirmation from Microsoft about these blocks, it is speculated that Microsoft may be trying to push users towards its Media Creation Tool for downloading the latest Windows 11 builds. This issue seems to be isolated to the Windows Insider program and is not affecting the official versions of Windows 11.
