    Thanks, glad you find the update lists useful. I also provide the same update lists on MSFN too, and a link to WUD Website to download the program. It would be nice if JCarle on MSFN would come back and update WUD to support the latest standards like https for example. But it is what it is, and I am not much of a programmer to build a successor to WUD. But if I was I would have built a version a few years back.

    @steven4554 ok once again my thanks a pity I couldn't find the files for a very simple reason: I'm on the web @+-20 hours so tomorrow I'll look again and by the way I really like this Forum; and more in fact I really am looking for any update for W10 IOT LTSC 2021 to use in MSMG Toolkit v12.5...:D

    No offense intended but aren't there already enough updates downloaders or overviews?

    There is just one (IoT) Enterprise 2021 LTSC version and that is 19044.xxxx, just use the same updates as normal 19041/2/3/4/5 use, all are 19041.xxxx.

    Please Note - Except for the Windows 10 update list, all versions of Windows 11 update lists have been suspended! This is due to MS changing the direct download links which are now incompatible with WUD.

    I have tried program compatibility in Windows 11 and still it won't download the updates using new download links. Until this program is updated to support these changes like https links, I can no longer recommend using this program to download Windows 11 updates. I will resume providing Windows 11 update lists when this happens.

    So until further notice please download WHD or some other alternative downloader.

    I will change the v25H2 update list and see if it works, fingers crossed. I have been modifying the links to use http. I just wish I could contact JCarle who created this program, but hasn't been on MSFN since July 2014.

    @abbodi1406 Update - The .NET481, Dynamic, SafeOS and Checkpoint updates downloaded no problem, but today's LCU did not download unfortunately so I think MS has done something.

    Yeah I agree, as it wouldn't make much sense for MS to restrict the download. I guess I can provide the update lists but put the huge LCU's in the article section so the user can download via an external downloader like FDM. That's the only solution I can come up with, should be okay for 26H1 as they are smaller in file size, so I will do that for now. Thanks:)

    I have PM the author of WUD on MSFN as I used to update the lists for him (back in the day) and upload them to his website which is no longer active. So I hope I get a response if he's willing to update WUD or not. Though since he hasn't been on MSFN since 2014 I'd say the chances of getting a reply isn't high. :(

    I give him 5 days and if I get no reply, then I will see if I can make my own downloader in VS2022.

    @alzcoew397 I used to have Nvidia and AMD GPU drivers in the update lists back in the day, so I could do a dedicated list for GPU drivers (Nvidia, AMD and Intel) and separate them in sections. Because they do drivers for today's GPU's and also release drivers for old but still decent GPU's every three months or more.

    If I do make a new downloader I will include a GPU driver list.

    Success!! Finally got WUD to download the huge LCU for Windows 11 v25H2, so I will release the new version immediately. It will require Windows 7 SP1, MS .NET Framework 4.8 and a x64 CPU, the Legacy version will still be available to download but it will be recommended to run on older versions of Windows like 2000, XP, Vista and 7 RTM.
