Windows Update Client downloading updates - stuck at 0%

WSUS Server and Clients worked perfectly until we moved the content folder with the WSUS tool to a different server.

If I check the HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Update Services\Server\Setup on the WSUS Server the ContentDir is \192.168.100.13\wsus$\WSUS

All Clients show that updates are available and the download process at 0%.

The WSUS log shows:

2021.08.02 17:46:06.2918534 620 1416 DownloadManager Downloading from http://<server>.<domain>:8530/Content/49/43FBF5F35825FB9ABD6B9AF073D67AFE2B36A449.exe to C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download\a6b06eaee5b3a327da2de1bc2924b04a\43fbf5f35825fb9abd6b9af073d67afe2b36a449 (full file)

2021.08.02 17:46:06.2973900 620 1416 DownloadManager Download job <...> resumed.

The file (43FBF5F35825FB9ABD6B9AF073D67AFE2B36A449.exe) is available on the disk of the server where the content is moved to.
The URL http://<server>.<domain>:8530/ is the Server where the WSUS is installed, but the content is on a different server.

What is the reason that the download stuck at 0%?

    @Rita Hu -MSFT and @Adam J. Marshall

    thank you for your help.
    I studied the links and dokuments very crefully and could not find a foult.
    The only difference we have after moving the content folder that we use a networt path:
    \192.168.100.13\wsus$\WSUS

    All other links and dokuments show only a local path like J:\WSUS.

    Could this be the reason?

    How are the share permissions on wsus$? Everyone - Full Control?
    What about the permissions on that $wsus folder ?
