WSUS Content Not Found - Client Error 404

Hi,

We recently set up a new WSUS server with Server 2012 R2 OS.
GPO's are working fine, all updates are downloaded on the WSUS server.

The problem is that the update on the client side is not downloading.
When running WSUS diagnostic tool, on the client, it says that the content is not found.

How do we fix this issue?
Permissions on the content folders are configured correctly.

Please see below:

Download wuinstall trial and see what it gives you: https://wuinstall.com/
And please use https on your wsus (that would not be part of the problem, no, but it is very much recommended).

Thanks for the feedback. Noted on the HTTPS for WSUS, will look in to it.

The WuInstall also seems to give errors:

Did you try that on a clean win10 (just 1703/1709 installed, nothing else, no AV, no GPOs)? You should.
Anything installed on your WSUS like AV/Firewall that you can remove for a test?

Permissions on the WSUS content folders are as follows:

Everyone - Read & execute
System - Full control
Network Service - Full control
Administrators - Full control
See my last suggestion.
You need to run (wsusutil.exe reset) on the WSUS server so that it will re-download the missing files.
Also "Permissions on the content folders are configured correctly."

During setup/enabling this role you should not have edited any permissions. WSUS sets it's own permissions.
