Wsus console crashing in windows server 2019 DataCenter

My problem is that my wsus console is crashing again and again. I have just created a new server to fix this problem.
I tried all the resolutions on Google and even created a new server but the problem could not be solved.

Are you performing the proper WSUS maintenance including but not limited to running the Server Cleanup Wizard (SCW), declining superseded updates, running the SQL Indexing script, etc.?

Maintenance is necessary for WSUS. Most admins don't know about it.

Hello MuhammadYousufAnsari-8110,

Thanks for your posting on this forum.

Did means that you have created a new WSUS server but the issue still occurred on the new WSUS Server? Right?

If it is convenient for you, please help to provide a screenshot of this issue.

In addition, perhaps we could refer to the below steps to check whether the WSUS server is healthy or not.
Open the CMD as an administrator and navigate to the wsusutil tool.
The wsusutil tool's location is C:\Program Files\Update Services\Tools
Reference picture:

Run the wsusutil.exe checkhealth command to check the health of the WSUS server. We could open the Event Viewer to check the report of the WSUS Server and we could filter out the report of the WSUS Server.
Reference picture:

Please keep us in touch if there are any updates about this issue.

Regards,
Rita

And are you performing the proper WSUS maintenance including but not limited to running the Server Cleanup Wizard (SCW), declining superseded updates, running the SQL Indexing script, etc.?

If you're not, that is why the console keeps crashing!

My WSUS system has:
There are 16797 updates in this server's database.
But a customer of ours has:
There are 569806 updates in this server's database.
