Can someone advise where I can find those updates from WSUS server so
that I can copy them to my jump drive and install some workstations that
do not have connection to WSUS server?

Is it located \servername\wsuscontent? If yes, why cannot I find the
installation files?

The updates are stored, by default, in C:\WSUS\WSUSContent; but they're all
named according to the SHA-1 hash of the package and it will be a tedious
process, at best, to do what you propose.

If you need to install updates on workstations that have no access to the
WSUS Server and no access to the Internet, you should download the updates
from the Microsoft Download Center, which will be packaged appropriately for
interactive installation by a human.

It is in fact tedious to find and identify these updates on the WSUS Server.

Consider using c't Offline Update at
