What happened?

Hi, I've been using ventoy for like a year now, but suddenly surface pro 7 ( I tried 2 devices, mine and my friend ) won't boot into ventoy usb and will stuck on windows splash screen at the beginning of the system boot

I tried using fedora image writer and it did work, but it won't work with ventoy

So I don't want to use fedora image writer, I need to have 3 iso and I only have 2 usbs ( and I need to use ventoy for not reformatting them each time for troubleshoot )

Microsoft support always mention about the disk being "fat32" and they are insisting on it

So I guess the problem is ventoy is using fat16

Ventoy does work on other devices, but not surface pros that I've tested, I already installed and configured arch linux on it a year ago, I guess it's just a Microsoft firmware update of it messing up the compatibility with fat16

Ps: I used both mbr and gpt
