0x800b0101 means:
Error Code: 0x800B0101 (2148204801)
Error Name: CERT_E_EXPIRED
Error Source: Windows
Error Message: A required certificate is not within its validity period when verifying against the current system clock or the timestamp in the signed file.
The client computer has a valid PKI client authentication. Since WSUS is configured with SSL, we checked its SSL certificate and found it invalid due to date expiration.
SOLUTION
Issued a new WSUS SSL certificate and imported it into IIS site
Refer to this article on how to configure WSUS SSL.
