Thanks smulholland2, for the information and posts you provided.
I never thought to use the Windows Update Assistant
. Might have saved me some time. I did upgrade all 13 of my win10 clients to the 1903 ver. this past weekend. I followed the other guides stating to first uninstall the connector software. After the upgrade I reinstalled the connector by http://myserver/connect and all but two machines reconnected without problems. I did note that although the services for windows essentials did get installed none of them was turned on and were set to Manual. After setting each of the services to Automatic and then starting the service all was well. After a reboot All clients picked up doing backups right where it had left off the night before. I am running Windows Server 2012r2 essentials. Thanks for the posts.
