Hi,

I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble with SCVMM 2019. Here are a few steps you can try to resolve the issue:

1. Look at the Windows Event Logs for any specific error messages related to SCVMM. This can provide clues about what might be causing the issue.
2. Ensure that the service account used to start the SCVMM service has the necessary permissions on the SQL database. Sometimes, permissions might not be replicated correctly after an upgrade.
3. Try uninstalling and then reinstalling the SCVMM console. This can sometimes resolve issues that occur after an upgrade.
4. If these steps don't resolve the issue, you might want to check the detailed logs located at C:\ProgramData\VMMLogs for more specific error messages.
