Did you tried restarting IIS service. I hope that make this work. I had applied some updates which cause the failure. I had sent a report also but it did not worked. The error is too frequent now. I had restarted the server and it looks to be resolved. But still sometime it appears. I think there is some application which is affected. Does security applications are responsible for the same.

Are you referring to the folder inside hard drive. There are certain documents which are already available in the root folder. The location for the same is WSUS\Wsus Content. There is a permission guide that can help you to find what you are looking for. Also there is a tool that can allow you to check the health of WSUS. The command for the same is wsusutil checkhealth. You will receive the error message in the tool itself. If you found the same error then you can visit microsoft site to find the needed patch.

What I know about WSUS is that there is no change in the permission automatically or at the time of setup. The process includes checking and validating the permission that are required by WSUS. It is right to spend a bit more time in documentations as it offers you more clear way to deal with the issue. When the folder WSUS is created by the installation, the same is done through correct permission.
