Hello KEN,
It looks like there is no problem with your settings of IIS. Please allow me to ask some more questions in order to collect more information.
- Does this error occur every time when clicking "synchronization"?
- Does this error occur when clicking other node?
- How often does your WSUS synchronize? Are there too many synchronization entry in history?
And you may try following method to clear the synchronization history and try if it works.
Clearing the Synchronization history in the WSUS console
Look forward to your feedback.

"Service Unavailable" Response: TcpLevel from HttpLevel
Private Memory Limit (KB): 0 from 1843200

Any idea?

hi Ray,
I am using WID instead of MSSQL.
1. Yes.
2. Previous click the node server, it can show the status, but after I run cleanup wizard, then click the node get crash console.
3. WSUS is new setup, it auto check update every day.

Thanks...KEN

Hi Ken,
It seems to be Authentication Issue, login failed for NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE
Please run the command in elevated mode in order:
%drive%\Program Files\Update Services\Tools>wsusutil.exe reset
%drive%\Program Files\Update Services\Tools>wsusutil.exe postinstall /servicing
Post running the commands, please reboot

hi Ray,
With your suggestion to remove history record in WID, the crash if click "Synchronizations" is solved.
But click "Security Updates" with filter status to "Any" the WSUS console also crash, is it the WID DB still have problem?

hi Ray,
After delete wsus of MMC cache file, it can show "Security Updates" with "Any" view, but it still crash if click "All Updates" with "Any" view. Any idea?
Seems Windows Server 2016 WSUS seems have many issue then WS2012R2.
Can we identify the WID or MMC console problem?
Regards
Thanks...KEN

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performing the proper WSUS maintenance including but not limited to running the Server Cleanup Wizard (SCW), declining superseded updates, running the SQL Indexing script, etc.?

Hi lywing,
In your above settings the "Private Memory Limit (KB): 0 from 1843200" (This should be "Zero" , let it grow on its own, do not limit it).
Also, WSUS should not show any errors on the below settings:
1. WsusPool should be started and it should nt be stopping frequently.
2. IIS is able to resolve the WSUS website from IIS manager, it means when u try to browser the WSUS website , it should open that without any errors.
3. if your are using certificates for authentication than check SSL settings are not creating any errors
