v5.6.2.1 Emergency Disk issue

[JayDee]

In creating an updated emergency disk, I find that the
download WinPE components using Microsoft.com option
gives me a network failure error.

I have, of course, verified Internet access etc etc

I'll report back if I find a solution

@JayDee, I would suggest the following... Hasleo offers the latest WinPE build (Windows 11-based, many more resident drivers than Windows 10) at this OffLine WinPE page.  Download it once and squirrel it away for future use (both offered downloads are currently the same).  Microsoft PEs change very little (the Win10-based PE hasn't changed since 2019).  This file is in a form called OPE (OffLine PE).

If you do this once, then each time you need to produce either BOOT or ISO media with Hasleo, you won't need any more downloads anytime soon.  When you select the "Download WinPE Components" CheckBox. the next window offers you the Microsoft download OR an OffLine WinPE option.  If you select the OffLine option and use the DropDown to select your OffLine WinPE media (OPE file) on your System, the build will commence without any downloading requirement whatsoever.  I have been doing this for a very long time and have completely eliminated those Microsoft access issues.  You should try it.

Thank you, @Froggie, for the tip. Yes, using the OffLine WinPE (OPE file) ensures that when creating an emergency disk, there is no need to access Microsoft's servers, thus avoiding network issues. It also means that even if Microsoft's download links change in the future or the network is unavailable, you can always create bootable media. This is a very practical approach that saves time and improves reliability. Thanks again for sharing!

Just a quick note, I have performed a test and the "Download WinPE components" feature is working properly on my end.
