WSUS - Server 2012 R2
- 
I could delete the file at %appdata%\Microsoft\MMC called "wsus" but I don't know if that is actually the issue.
 - 
@dustinb3403 - If it isn't, the only problem is that you will have to recreate your custom update views, if you have any. So it won't hurt to try
Edit: These are what I am referring to -

Nope, removing the file simply removed the connection with MMC so now I don't even see the WSUS server (from which I'm running MMC and WSUS)
And I can't connect to the WSUS from MMC on this WSUS server. . . .
 - 
Not that I saw the server, but I saw the server and had the error in the OP.
 - 
Restoring the file gets me back to the error in the OP.

Open MMC, File Add/Remove Snap-in > update services..
Now you've created a new one.

Try restarting IIS, SQL and update services
Which I've done and the error above in the code block.

@dustinb3403 What happens if you browse to the page on port 8530?

Site can't be reach on either 8530 or 8531
 - 
@dustinb3403 Does it give you a 403 or does it give page can't be displayed?
 - 
This is normal WSUS operation.
Try iisreset from elevated command prompt.

Either port, same issue. So an issue with IIS then?

No change.

When I just go to https://localhost I get a Http Error 404.0 - Not Found page.
