Workstations updating not reporting status

Question
-
Hi,
I have WSUS problem - some of the worksations are not reporting status. Updates are downloaded and installed but status is not reported, and in reports those stations are visible as "No status". About 50 from 1500 is affected, some is not reporting from more than a half year. I have changed "Private memory limit" to 0, deleted all superseded updates. On workstations deleted Softwaredistribution folder, registered dlls again, used those commands:
REG DELETE "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate" /v AccountDomainSid /f
REG DELETE "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate" /v PingID /f
Reg Delete "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate" /v SusClientId /f
Reg Delete "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate" /v SusClientValidation /f
REG DELETE "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto Update" /v LastWaitTimeout /f
REG DELETE "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto Update" /v DetectionstartTime /f
Reg Delete "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto Update" /v NextDetectionTime /f wuauclt.exe /resetauthorization
wuauclt.exe /detectnow
wuauclt.exe /reportnowIt resolved problem in couple of stations but most of them are still not reporting, and right now I'm without ideas what could cause this. WSUS is on Windows Server 2012R2 version: 6.3.9600.18838
Stations are mostly Windows 10 with some Widnows 7.

Hi Lucas,
In the WSUS console, we can check the client's last status report time and last connection time. Please first consider the above two times of this part of the client, whether it exists and is the most recent.
Second, since the problem only occurs on some clients, I think the problem is very likely to appear on the client.
Refer to the steps in this article: "Tips for troubleshooting WSUS Agents that are not reporting to the WSUS server".
Reply back with the results would be happy to help.

Last Contact date and Last Status report date are different. In some cases the difference is more than half year.
I checked the article and:
1. GPO is applied to the station and in registry wsus server is configured correctly
2. Services are running, updates are downloaded and installed
3. Server is reachable, no proxy on client
4. No SCOM so this do not apply
5. SoftwareDistribution folder was deleted couple of timea
6. SusClientID registry was deleted and new one has generated
None of this things helps.

Hi Lucas,
Please consider removing these unreported computers from the WSUS console's computer and then waiting for these customer orders to rejoin.
