That would be your primary reason why the updates are not being installed.

Kinda hard to install an update if the content does not yet physically exist
on the WSUS Server.

Start by reviewing the Application Event Log on the WSUS Server to determine
why your updates are not downloading.

>From 10/20 to now, the only error in the App log is a Windows Server
Update 7053 "The WSUS administration console encountered an unexpected
error.". From 10/5 to 10/19, though, there are a ton of Userenv 1030
and 1006 errors saying Windows cannot bind to the domain, and Windows
cannot query for the list of Group Policy objects. That stopped some
time ago, and more recently Ive gotten SceCli informationals that say
"Security policy in the Group policy objects has been applied
successfully.". Ive also seen a number of recent informationals
saying "WSUS is working correctly.".

Found the problem. Update Services service was not started.
