UUP Dump Downloader is a Windows based Open Source program that provides you an easy way to download and save ISO images containing the latest build for Windows 10 operating systems.
UUP Dump Downloader uses Microsoft’s native update module, the “Unified Update Platform” (UUP), a unified update platform in order to reduce the size of latest build and installation time by selecting the right modules for the machine.
The UUP dump downloader project is an ISO tool via graphical user interface (GUI) which works through PHP + Autohotkey + CMD (bat.). The best thing about the UUP tool is that It automatically fetches the latest information from the server when it starts.
Note: Sometimes, Windows Defender recognizes the UUP downloader as Trojan virus and so It blocks the program. Some antiviruses like Sophos, BitDefender, F-Secure, GData also find it harmful to the system. However, Avira, Kaspersky, Avast and Malwarebytes find it very clean.
Lets see the step by step guide:
How to download and install UUP dump downloader
The project has been discontinued. Only the official website is supported and the required modules are updated. However, you can still download and install the UUP dump downloader by following the below step by step guide. The downloader is not a default exe file.

Once the file gets downloaded, you need to decompress it using an extractor. WinRAR is a very popular application which helps you decompress any zip and rar file with ease. You may prefer to use the WinRAR tool.
Step 2: Launch the application
As the UUP downloader is not a default exe file and so you don’t have to follow any installation wizard. After extraction, you have to double click on the executable bat file. And then a command line window will automatically be opened.
Step 3: Choose a build of Windows 10
As you can see in the above screenshot of the uup dump downloader, there is several options for –
- Build Selection: You need to select a windows 10 build which is compatible with your OS.
- Language: Here you have to select the language of your choice.
- Edition: Select the edition.
- Save option: Here you need to select the folder or location where you want to save the downloaded binary in your computer.
- And the last, you have to tick on “Save UUPs to UUPs subdirectory” and “Skip UUP to ISO conversion” if you just want to download the UUP without the ISO build.
Step 4: Start the download process
Once you set up the required options, now you have to click on the “Start Process” (Downloads selected build and creates ISO image from it.) option. Once you hit the start process button, a command prompt window will automatically be opened.
Now the UUP dump downloader will download the ISO build from the server and at the same time also shows you conversion of the UUP file to an ISO image. You can see the below screenshot.
One of the best things about the UUP Dump downloader is that It uses the Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool (DISM) to process the downloaded files.
That’s it.
You can use this ISO image to burn a bootable DVD or a USB drive. There are several windows applications available such as Rufus which provides you an easy to use user-interface to burn a bootable pendrive.
Final Words
UUP dump downloader is one of the best and most popular windows 10 ISO downloaders which is used by most of the geeks. It saves you time and provides you an easy to use user-interface to download all the big amounts of chunks into your folder with ease.
Some of the antivirus block the UUP as they recognize it as a trojan virus. If your antivirus also blocks it, then I would recommend you turn off the antivirus for sometime or until the UUP ISO downloader downloads the latest build from the server. Once the file gets downloaded, you can again turn on the antivirus.
