    What do you mean by this?

    The downloaded and extracted project zip will be an independent folder, you can copy the uup-dump\packs and fileinfo folder from the previous project folder to the new one to keep the "database" of builds.
    The separate updates download option is for those who only want to download the updates, to integrate or install them manually or by using W10UI.

    if you mean UUP dump update then it's better to backup "uup-dump\fileinfo" and "uup-dump\packs" folders (builds database) and then just move that folders to the new version

    not sure if I understand the question
    "Create download package for updates only" on the website let's you to download updates only, it's useful for W10UI and other tools

    Windows 10 in the aio script... seems like it's about x86 "Architecture"
    well, only Windows 10 is available for x86 platform on UUP, that's why it looks like "Architecture : x86 {Windows 10 only}"

    Sorry, yes, this is what I meant. I'm using a dedicated folder called UUPDUMP in my portable applications folder for this, so I now know to delete all but those 2 folders before extracting a new version to that folder.

    Yeah, I'm building a couple of W10 VMs, and last time I tried to run the AIO build script to build the ISO with updates enabled it took a long, long time. I just ran the updates only scripts instead, and there are a few .CAB files, so I was wondering if I build the Win10 .ISO without updates, install it, then boot to that Win10 install, can I just run the .CABs directly in that install to update it. I think this is what both you and Enthousiast are saying it is made for, which is great, because those .CABs took very little time to download. A lot faster than building the .ISO with updates lol.

    Being VMs, I can easily disable network access so WU won't try to download the updates in the background, too, so just manually installing the updates inside the install should be perfect for me.

    well... if you build base .1 ISO then it's better to just run Windows Update and update it
    you can use W10UI or DISM and integrate it manually post install
    or you can add updates as external ones so it will be installed before first login to the OS

    I always integrate all updates to the ISO, I don't see any reason why I should waste time many times with the same ISO on different machines vs one time updated ISO

    Good points all around, it's just the build time for a fully updates Win10 .ISO is so horrendously long lol.

    I'll probably use DISM, though I haven't tried W10UI, so I'll look at that as well.

    For being able to use dism you will need more skills then just drop all Win 10 updates and the extracted windows ISO folder next to the W10UI script and run the script, it will integrate or install all for you in the correct way.

    I'm well aware. I'm a regular at Elevenforum, and it's brought up a lot there for various tasks.

    And I nixed the idea of making Windows 10 x86 VMs, so that left me with only needing a single Win10 .ISO for 19045, so I bit the bullet and made one with updates anyway.

    Thanks for the help and suggestions, though!

    Can the script be tweaked so the user is asked if they would like to return to the main menu or exit after each task?

    I think it's better to use separate scripts:
    scripts\uupdump-run.cmd
    scripts\uupdump-get.cmd

    you can move it to the main folder next to the aio script (and move the aio script to the scripts folder if you are not going to use it)
    each script could be edited as well, open it with Notepad++ and you'll see configurable options

    Currently, when you start up the AIO script and do a search (option 2), the script exits afterwards. I think what he (and me too) wants is that, after the script has completed searching, it returns to the main menu. If needed, you can exit from there.

    what is the reason to return to the main menu?
    if you want to run the server then just enable 6th option "Run local server: YES"

    I'm constantly getting this error while downloading UUP files:
    Code:

    is there any solution please?

    local server should be up and running

    run aio script and press 1 1 (or 1 2)

    Because I do not always want to run the server. For reasons well-known, I occasionally have to redo the search a few times.
