    Hello

    Thank you for your question and reaching out. I can understand you are having issues related to Windows update error 0x80244o1c

    0x8024401C means the client response timeout: WU_E_PT_HTTP_STATUS_REQUEST_TIMEOUT — HTTP status 408 — the server timed out waiting for the request

    1. Check if .NET Framework 4.5 -> HTTP Activation is installed
    2. Change below settings in IIS pool

    Private Memory Limit (KB) – 0 (the previous value was 1258015. A value of 0 means that the limit on memory usage by WSUS workflow is removed, so the service may use more than 1.2 GB of memory)
    Queue Length – 25000 (increase the length of the queue to the pool from 10000)
    Limit Interval (minutes) — 15 (increase the time to reset the counters and run CPU Throttling from 5 to 15 minutes)
    Service Unavailable Response — TcpLevel

    1. Then change the value of Connection Time-out from 180 to 320 in WSUS Administration -> Advanced settings.
    2. Reboot IIS.

    Synced and approved, but downloaded to the WSUS server yet? Check with the File Status Column. If you don't have it, follow my guide to enable it
    https://www.ajtek.ca/wsus/how-to-setup-manage-and-maintain-wsus-part-2-computer-groups-update-views/

    Also, start by running the client side script here:
    https://www.ajtek.ca/wsus/client-machines-not-reporting-to-wsus-properly/
    And if that doesn't work, go through the rest of the troubleshooting.

    I'd recommend reading through my guides (ignore the part that explains how to link it in GPOs, because you don't have AD - you're doing that manually with registry edits/local GPO)

    @Devan-9567
    I agree with AJTek-Adam-J-Marshall. It seems that the devices didn't report to the WSUS server right now.

    Please help to double confirm whether the devices report to the WSUS server right now.

    Also please refer to the below link and follow the Disable recycling and configure memory limits part to maintain.

    Best regards,
    Rita
