Is or will Windows Mobile Device Center be compatible with Windows 10? There are some legacy devices that require sync with WMDC and then there are security personnel that do not allow devices to connect to their Wi-Fi but rather connect them via USB using WMDC. I was able to get WMDC to work successfully on Windows 8 and 8.1. So far I have not heard any news in regards to Windows 10. Looking forward to hearing results and or news regarding this. Thx everyone.

2019-03-23T21:56:26+00:00 Workarounds and troubleshooting options to get WMDC working WMDC may no longer work in the latest Windows operating systems. Windows 10 version 1703 has been widely reported to no longer work with WMDC. The following options could help to get WMDC working again.
Install and enable .NET Framework 3.5 Sometimes before successfully installing WMDC, you must enable the required .NET Framework 3.5 under Turn Windows features on or off, and/or by using the previous dotNetFx35setup.exe installer from Microsoft. Run the 64-bit drvupdate-amd64.exe or 32-bit drvupdate-x86.exe installer as an Admin and in Compatibility Mode for Windows Vista® if WMDC and the required drivers do not successfully install automatically through the Windows Update service when you connect USB.
Registry Changes After installation and once Windows Mobile Device Center appears in the product list under the Start menu on the desktop PC, you may need to add the following Registry entries, and then perform a Restart. • HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\RapiMgr\SvcHostSplitDisable = 1 • HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WcesComm\SvcHostSplitDisable =1

2019-03-23T21:15:10+00:00 I am running WMDC on all of my Windows 10 Pro PC’s at work with no problems at all syncing with any device so far. I posted what i did to get it working and some other options to use for different devices. WMDC does work on Windows 10!
Would you please repost your solution as I don't remember seeing it. I have tried all the solutions, etc. and for 3 years now I have not been able to sync my HP Ipaq rx4240 to my desktop.
Thanks.
In the beginning with Win 10 my trimble/ashtech/garmin devices would not connect. But now they do, no problem. But I am not syncing. I only transfer files.
