You can try to install WSUS console on your workstation and test - is problem in console or in server.

Does this error occur when you do something specific, or just when you open the console?

This sounds like a .NET timeout error.  Have you made any changes to .NET components on the server?

Happens when I open the console. I haven't made any changes to .Net components.

Have you followed als315's suggestion and tried the WSUS client from a different system?
