WSUS 2022 is not downloading files

Why are all downloads stuck a 0%?

Why can I sync but after approved - the update says the files are not downloaded.

Why can I not import KBs into WSUS using an up to date browser?

Why are all the whitepapers for WSUS still dated for 2012?

    Couple of things

    Try putting BITS into foreground mode

    https://www.ajtek.ca/wsus/wsus-bits-foreground-priority-mode-vs-background-priority-mode/

    If that doesn't work, try forcing a stop of downloads, declining the updates that need to be downloaded, run the server cleanup wizard (SCW), and then go re-approve those updates.

    (Get-WsusServer).CancelAllDownloads()
