WSUS Console is continuously getting Reset Server Node error page within 2 minutes of opening. I cannot do anything before getting that error or the MMC error dialog. I run WSUS on a server 2016 VMWare 6.5 VM with 10 vcpu's and 16gb of virtual memory. I had the driver and driver sets categories turned on and I think that may have cause my synchronization to get stuck taking forever, but I cannot keep the console operating long enough to deselect them.

    Are you performing the proper WSUS maintenance including but not limited to running the Server Cleanup Wizard (SCW), declining superseded updates, running the SQL Indexing script, etc.?

    Have you made any of the optimizations to WSUS and IIS that is recommended by Microsoft?
