The latest Etcher is out, get it from https://etcher.io!
Most notably this version fixes the notorious “Couldn’t scan drives” error, brings back native OS window management keyboard shortcuts (hide, minimize, quit and friends), and fixes an issue with User Account Control (UAC) handling on Windows.
We also have increased the resilience of the writing process a little; it can now withstand minor hiccups in succession for a longer period of time.
Features
- Display connected Compute Modules even if Windows doesn’t have the necessary drivers to act on them
- Add read/write retry delays with backoff
- Add native application menu (which fixes OS native window management shortcuts not working)
