    Thanks. Is this known for breaking something in the system or third party apps?

    Okay, I thought the download errors were due to the aria2c file not downloading some packages. But if I run the script several times, will the files that downloaded correctly be overwritten? or will it only try to download the files that showed ERROR?
    Thanks for the link. It is very useful information.
    Ok. So, even if I modify the CustomAppsList file to choose the desired apps, all the apps will be downloaded anyway, I understand. But the desired apps will be added in the process of creating the ISO file? and when I install Windows only the apps I chose will be there?
    Thank you, I understand.
    Thanks, this is also interesting

    aria2c will only download missing files (or corrupted ones)

    yes, only desired apps will be added during conversion

    SkipISO = 1 (A personal choice, I find it easier), basically when running convert-UUP.cmd instead of an ISO file being created, what you get instead is a folder containing your setup files
    (A Distribution/Installation Folder.... which I use for upgrading my OS... the contents of which can also be copied directly to a Bootable USB for other installation purposes)

    vSkipISO = 1 does the same thing but is used in the creation of Virtual Editions, of which Enterprise is one...

    Indeed... apologies if that wasn't made clear in my original post.
    Of course, it may not be necessary in your case, it is used to circumvent issues with SSL handshaking (which some have, myself included) that can cause the download to fail completely.

    Thanks, I understand. But in my case, the ISO file is needed to be able to mount it with Rufus on my PC which is not compatible with Windows 11, and Rufus may skip some features like secure boot and TPM in mounting the ISO.

    As you saw in the attached image in my previous post, I also have download errors. But @abbodi1406 says I have to run the script several times to download the missing or corrupted files.

    @Diego F.

    You could try downloading the missing files manually by using the URL listed after each error
    You would then use the file rename .cmd provided on the UUP Dump site (Show all files)
    Place the renamed files in the UUPs folder and you should be good to go... did it this way when I was having similar issues previously

    ... but admit I haven't had these issues since applying the edits--check-certificate=false (lines 74, 92) to the uup-download-windows.cmd script

    I also have to set connections to one file at a time here. It is slower, but much more reliable. Usually, everything comes down on the first try, and I can do something else, meanwhile.

    Instead of doing that, have you tried limiting the aria2c download bandwidth a bit?

    I have a friend that when he runs download-uup, he gives a lot of download errors. I told him that there were no errors for me. We live close by and use the same provider. So we consider the internet bandwidth we have available. My band is 85mbps and his is 1gbps. So I suggested the limitation, through an argument in the aria2c command, to 35mbps and it solved it. He must have done tests to find out what the maximum limit of bandwidth he could use without being cut off by MS's limitation of bandwidth and requests, for the same IP. I believe there is that kind of limitation. And, it takes a short period of time for the IP to be released again, it seems to me that it is related to demand at the time we are doing our downloads.

    "%aria2%" --no-conf --log-level=info --log="aria2_download.log" -o"%aria2Script%" --allow-overwrite=true --max-download-limit=35M --auto-file-renaming=false "http......

    There is limitation for upload
    --max-upload-limit=10M
    But that's not the case here.

    This might be useful for you.

    Microsoft.MicrosoftTeams_8wekyb3d8bbwe is not included with UUP

    Microsoft.MicrosoftTeamsforSurfaceHub_8wekyb3d8bbwe is different, as the name suggest

    Ah, ok. I understand, I have tried to edit the file by adding --check-certificate=false, but in my case it doesn't work, I keep getting errors. So I will have to try downloading the files manually from the uup dump site. By the way, thanks for the tutorial mate, I will take it into account. :animatedwink:
