The command below worked flawlessly before updating to VS 2019 16.10.0: 

msbuild.exe MySolution.sln /t:Project1;Project2;Project3 /p:Configuration=Release /p:DebugType=None /p:OutputPath="C:\Users\myuser\Desktop\Build"

After the update I'm getting the message error MSB4057: the target "Project1" does not exist in the project when I try the command in Developer Command Prompt of VS 2019.

    Now you must add ":Rebuild" after the name of the projects for it to work. 

    msbuild.exe MySolution.sln /t:Project1:Rebuild;Project2:Rebuild;Project3:Rebuild /p:Configuration=Release /p:DebugType=None /p:OutputPath="C:\Users\myuser\Desktop\Build"
