Rufus 4.1 (Build 2045) 
* Also revert GRUB 2 core.img to vanilla 2.06, with the hope that GRUB will
  *ACTUALLY* bother to release in 2023 and we will be able to update to
  GRUB 2.12 (or whatever non-sequential version they decide to go with) to
  say a most welcome goodbye to this whole 2.06 incompatibility crap!
