WSUS Server 2012 will not download updates

Everything was working fine for about 9 months, now it syncs successfully, but will no longer download the updates.  So the clients all show no updates available.  I have already run the reset and blew the WSUSContent folder away.  Below is the error in the event log.

Event ID 364
Content file download failed.
Reason: The operation being requested was not performed because the user has not logged on to the network. The specified service does not exist. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800704DD)

OK - I changed the logon for the Update Services to Network Service and now I don't get any errors in the event log, but it still won't download any updates.  No proxy server.  Sonicwall firewall hasn't changed.

I removed those updates, but will have to wait for a down period to reboot the server.
Removing those 2 updates wasn't all it took.  I also had to do a full reset on WSUS with a couple IISRESETs and reboots mixed in.  Probably would have been faster to uninstall/reinstall.
