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.

2019-02-04T22:58:53+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

These Registry entries change the way in which the operating system handles the background processes (“Services”) that control WMDC connectivity. The handling of background Services has changed in Windows 10 1703 and these additions allow WMDC to continue to work.

2019-02-04T21:42:28+00:00 Sync Center doesn't work at all. I need Windows Mobile Device Center. It is the only way our Intermec devices can connect to our computers.
WMDC is required to be able to see the files and folders on the Intermec PDA devices. If I need to rebuild or reprogram them, I need WMDC not Sync Center which is basically useless as I need access to more than just one folder on the device.
This is infuriating.
