Issue

As of Windows 10, version 1903, the Exchange 2010 SP3 Management Console will no longer work properly.  

This is not unexpected as Exchange 2010 SP3 is not officially supported on operating systems greater than Windows Server 2012 or Windows 8.

Workaround

Nonetheless, there is a work around. 

At a Command Prompt, type:

set __COMPAT_LAYER=RUNASINVOKER

set COMPLUS_Version=v2.0.50727

"c:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\Bin\Exchange Management Console.msc"
