DBAN will not load using Bootable USB or CD

DBAN 2.3.0 or 2.2.8 will not load using Bootable USB

Used RUFUS 3.1.1 to create a UEFI Bootable USB. Tried both the Latest version of DBAN(2.3.0)and 2.2.8, and DBAN simply won’t start. I am running Windows 10 Pro with a Gigabyte motherboard. The USB drive is visible as a UEFI restartdevice in Windows and BIOS, but when you try to start DBAN, it doesnothing.

Doesn't look like DBAN is being supported anymore, which is a shame. I've had similar trouble try to get KILLDISK to work. I'm wondering if there is a deliberate effort by Blannco and/or Microsoft to eliminate all kinds of Hard Drive Erase Freeware on the internet.
