  2. WSUS content folder & synchronization problem

    Hello brothers

    Actually, our WSUS content folder was full and that's why to reduce the size of the folder I tried the following steps and after that I am in a big trouble.

    1. Close any open WSUS consoles.

    2. Go to Administrative Tools – Services and STOP the Update Services service.

    3. In Windows Explorer browse to the WSUSContent folder (typically D:\WSUS\WSUSContent or C:\WSUS\WSUSContent)

    4. Delete ALL the files and folders in the WSUSContent folder.

    5. Go to Administrative Tools – Services and START the Update Services service.

    6. Open a command prompt and navigate to the folder: C:\Program Files\Update Services\Tools.

    7. Run the command WSUSUtil.exe RESET.

    After all the above steps, our WSUS is not synchronizing and no updates are being downloaded at all. Every time showing "Reset Server Node"

    Please help me out as soon as possible.

    Thanks

    WSUSContent folder

    Quick Access not searching Pictures folder

    Summary, that last suggestion didn't work.

    • I moved the pictures to another folder temporarily.


    • Since there were no troubleshooting steps for this scenario, just for the heck of it, I ran through the restore steps. Copied some pictures into the Pictures folder, ran a Quick Access search and initial problem remains: Searching all of QA doesn't find any files in Pictures folder, running search on just the Pictures folder does. I want to run a global search and find matching files in any/all of the Documents, Music, Videos, and Pictures folders.
    That article dates from 2015 and I'm guessing is out of date. I hope it didn't create potential future problems in my registry.

    Bottom line: I'm still looking for a fix.
