Win 10 whs 2011 2753 cannot uninstall connector no launchpad
Hi Everyone,
This problem is on the last of eight machines I am upgrading.
On all the others after installation the WHS connector did not work. I uninstalled it, restarted, reinstalled it and everything was Hunky Dory. Not this time!
The connector would not uninstall - error 2753.
I then uninstalled it manually, deleting the appropriate registry key but could not reinstall so undeleted the key.
Found a beautiful Microsoft Fix here:

NOT APPLICABLE TO WIN 10.
Have run chkdsk /r - no change.
CAN run dashboard.
Part of the issue is that some of the Windows server local services such as client backup and health service are marked to start automatically BUT DO NOT. They can be started manually and then Launchpad can be opened from ALL APPS but it should start automatically. I have just tried disabling and re-enabling it in System Configuration/Startup/Task Manager.
There is a myriad of posts on related issues on the web with convoluted suggestions for solution; I am looking for a simple one!
Thanks for your help.
Mike.
UPDATE..
...one step forward. After the restart the green Launchpad sign in box appeared (it has before) I signed in then got the: the server appears to be offline message and then by magic the white sign in boxes disappeared leaving the four usual options: backup, remote web access, shared folders and dashboard. This is further than I have got so far BUT on pressing backup, it does not connect and just notice the white flag at bottom left of green Launchpad box is flashing indicating server offline so nut much progress at all if any.
