ITNOA

I have clean windows server 2019 core that server WSUS.

After I synchronized wsus from internet. I want to see critical update with below command

Get-WsusUpdate -Classification Critical -Approval Unapproved -Status Any

But after I write this command on powershell I see below error

The operation has timed out

The note is I change connection timeout in IIS to 600 seconds but the error does not resolved

My question is why this error occurred and how to resolve this?

I have the same question in serverfault

thanks a lot

    In seeing this output I realize I may want to remove drivers from classifications, I will give that a try as well

    FYI, I'm making a WSUS server with LESS resources than what you have (2019, core edition, 4GB RAM, 4 Core, SATA SSD backend, WID). I'd like to try to replicate your scenario. I'm surprised WAM didn't resolve the issues.

    Please give me the output of: 

    $(Get-WsusServer).GetSubscription().GetUpdateCategories() | Select-Object Title  
$(Get-WsusServer).GetSubscription().GetUpdateClassifications() | Select-Object Title

    These 2 will give me the exact list of products and classifications you have so that I can replicate as best as possible.

    I think its a limitation of MMC and the app pools

    I have to say I also have this issue. I have 2 servers running 2016 & 2019 Standard. One is a physical server with 2016(this is the original WSUS server for the org) and was working very well on 2012 R2 and once upgraded to 2016 WSUS kept on with these Time out errors in the MMC. I built a VM with 4 Cores and 32GB AM and clean build and also get the same errors, in fact much more frequently that it is not even usable. I would gladly pay for a remote support session at this point because I have followed all recommendations and even used WAM and it still didnt fix the issue at all.
