hi,

make sure both windows server 2012 essentials , windows 10 has been patched windows update, might helpful resolving known issues.

besides, consider of failed connector installation, recommend check below items on windows 10:
1. re-join windows 10 workgroup , re-start system.
2. make sure connector(client connector windows server essentials) has been removed control panel – programs – uninstall program.
3. delete windows server folders under %programdata%\microsoft\.
4. deletewindows server essentials folder under microsoft – windows on task scheduler. 
5. re-start windows 10 in clean boot , try connect essentials via connector again check result.

if problem persists, please provide error message(screenshot if possible), , clientdeploy.log. check see if there difference before. 

log file/screenshot, may upload them onedrive(https://onedrive.live.com/), share them , provide me access links.

best regards,
eve wang
