WSUS Not Functioning Properly
I recently discovered that my Windows 2012 WSUS Server wasn't functioning. When I tried running the WSUS GUI on the server, it simply wouldn't work. I discovered it was stopped, tried restarting with very little success. So I uninstalled WSUS and reinstalled. WSUS now seems to be properly running on the server, however none of my clients can connect to it.
When my machine, Windows 10 Pro, attempts to update it returns an error 0x80244007. I've tried googling the error, but have not found anything that works. Other clients return the same error.
The machine is ping able. Browsing to http://wsus.railroad.local returns a basic IIS starter page; adding the port just returns a blank page
Any help would be much appreciated.

Ok thank you, I will look at those instructions. Just as a side note, just finished a machine for a new employee, clean install of the OS and join to the domain. It was able to communicate with the WSUS server without any issues.

So I found these command while searching for "Cached cookie has expired or new PID is available", which was found in the WindowsUpdate.log. On my windows 10 machine, these commands corrected the issue. Now how to get them to run on my clients.
REG DELETE "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Cur rentVersio n\WindowsU pdate" /v SusClientId /f
REG DELETE "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Cur rentVersio n\WindowsU pdate" /v SusClientIdValidation /f

Thank you!
ok, Nice to help you.
The error is a "talk protocol" error, as explained here.
This is probably related to the IIS servicing WSUS application. You can try to reset IIS database, but I do recommend to make a clean install following this guidelines: https://www.experts-exchange.com/articles/18543/Installing-Configuring-and-Managing-WSUS.html
