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.

    I uninstalled USB Sync Cradle from Portable Devices (hidden) and uninstalled Mobile Device Center then plugged in the PDA. It didn't automatically install MDC so I manually installed it via drvupdate-amd64.exe in Vista compatibility mode.

    At first it gave me the same Desktop error but my PDA showed emails from the desktop. Disabled and enabled Contacts, Calendar, Email in one or multiple configurations and at one time got a Sync complete. Checked the calendar and the entry from the PDA was not in the desktop Outlook 2003 calendar. Tried again and again and no luck.

    Still getting "ActiveSync encountered a problem on the desktop"

    ActiveSyc on the PDA shows Support code: 0x85010014

    Any other ideas?

    I run into the same problem with the PDAs in Windows 10, but this post solved all my problems : 

    "To correct this issue, I uninstalled Windows Mobile Device Center, right clicked and Uninstalled the USB Sync Cradle in device manager and scanned the PC for new hardware. This time, when the driver was installed Windows Mobile Device Center was installed at the same time as the driver.

    I think my issue was probably caused by me installing things in the wrong order."

    Basically, when you install Windows Mobile Device Center, is automatically installed  USB Sync Cradle. You should uninstall from device manager USB Sync Cradle and also Windows Mobile Device Center, and just connect your PDA. Windows 10 will automatically install Windows Mobile Device Center for you and USB Sync Candle will not be installed. This driver is the one which causes the errors.

    Hope this help you too!

    I found that running the WMDC 6.1 installer in Vista SP2 compatibility mode has resolved the download issue. It still crashes sometimes but this should work for us.
