"WUServer"="http://your-WSUS-server:port"; and
- "WUStatusServer"="http://your-WSUS-server:port";
to match the IP address (or FQDN) of your WSUS server. IMPORTANT: remove the ";" from the end of that lines!
Examples:
"WUServer"=" http://WSUS.company.com:81 "
"WUStatusServer"=" http://WSUS.company.com:81 "
"WUServer"=" http://192.168.0.1 "
"WUStatusServer"=" http://192.168.0.1 "
"WUServer"=" http://intranet.local:8080 "
"WUStatusServer"=" http://intranet.local:8080 "
The first key is named WUServer. This registry key holds a string value which should be entered as the WSUS server’s URL.
By default, in Windows Server 2012, WSUS 4.0 uses port 8530. However, WSUS 3.0 uses port 80, by default

The other key that you will have to change is a string value named WUStatusServer. The idea behind this key is that the PC must report its status to a WSUS server so that the WSUS server knows which updates have been applied to the PC. The WUStatusServer key normally holds the exact same value as the WUServer key.
net stop wuauserv
net start wuauserv

This doesn't work all the time, though.
A personal computer is a general-purpose computer whose size, capabilities and price make it useful for individuals, and is intended to be operated directly by an end-user with no intervening computer time-sharing models that allowed systems to be used by many people, usually at the same time. Personal computers may be connected to a local area network (LAN), either by a cable or a wireless connection, and through that to the Internet. A personal computer may be a laptop computer or a desktop computer running an operating system such as Windows, Linux or Macintosh OS.
