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performing the proper WSUS maintenance including but not limited to running the Server Cleanup Wizard (SCW), declining superseded updates, running the SQL Indexing script, etc.?

I know it's a bit odd asking something that may seem off topic, but approving an update should NOT CAUSE a reset node to happen. This is usually due to lack of maintenance and/or lack of optimization.

Hello，

It seems that you are experiencing performance issues while using the WSUS console resulting in a "reset to node" error and a system hang. These problems are often caused by a variety of factors, including WSUS database size, fragmentation, update backlogs, or insufficient server resources.

You mention that you have run the Cleanup Wizard, make sure that you have selected all cleanup options:

Unused updates and update revisions

The computer does not contact the server

Expired updates - replaced updates

Stateless updates

Remove outdated updates

In addition, reindexing the WSUS database Reindexing the WSUS database can help improve performance. You can re-index the database using SQL Server Management Studio.

If the problem persists, check the event viewer and WSUS logs for any specific errors. Enable View > Show Analysis and Debug Logs before viewing the event Viewer.

Best regards

Jacen
