peterweb Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Just got the Win 10 2004 update and the Essentials Connector Software no longer works. I reinstalled the connector twice with no change. Anyone else see this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterweb Posted July 1, 2020 Author Share Posted July 1, 2020 So I did another uninstall of the Connector software, and this time it took. Not sure what I did differently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrf Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 I had to uninstall and reinstall the connector on the first pc that got this update. it was fine after that. curiously when it was not working Essentials did not flag that backups were overdue.

peterweb Posted July 2, 2020 Author Share Posted July 2, 2020 What I noticed on the Win 10 system before reinstalling the connector is that hovering over the connector icon, it showed as Connected to Server, and the icon was green. So there was no indication that anything was wrong. It was not until I went to rename the backups on the server that I noticed the last successful backup was the day before the Win 10 update.

pksparks Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 hi, I have had this several times, almost with every major windows 10 update. the essentials tray is grayed out, and with me light's out also has a cross exit both lights out and server essentials. uninstall both form windows apps go to explorer, find following maps: c:\program data\Microsoft remove folder windows server goto map: c:\program files remove folder windows server no connect again through https:\\your server:connect and re-install software and after that maybe reinstall lights out works with me. succes Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
