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.

2015-09-11T20:56:49+00:00 Same problem here. I've tried everything including a brand new Windows 10 installation followed immediately by installation of WMDC to rule out any potential conflicts with existing software.
Hopefully an update will be available soon although I wouldn't hold my breath!

2015-09-11T11:08:54+00:00 Here is what I found out -- HP Support Center told me that Microsoft is not providing a patch for Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC) at this present time there is no known workaround for connecting to the new Windows 10 operating system. iPAQ software will be unable to sync with WIndows 8, 8.1 or 10. HP continues to state that other customers have been asking of late, and a request was sent to HP IT for updates but due to age of the iPAQ handheld line a resolution might not be forthcoming.
HOWEVER, I have been on the phone for two weeks with the Answer Desk and Tier II Microsoft Support and explained t the Tier II the issue lies with THEM and Microsoft NEEDS to create the patch since many of us use these devices, the function beautifully and somehow so FIX IT! The Tier II person was supposed to e-mail me something so I could copy and paste HP's answer but I am still waiting for the e-mail. Some excuse about Microsoft's e-mail servers being busy and they allegedly sent it 4 or 5 times. Microsoft is forwarding this issue to their Tier III people so that a patch or update or fix can be created and pushed through via the updates that Microsoft sends us. They told me it may take another 3 to 4 weeks. So folks, chat with Answer Desk, have them escalate to Tier III. Remember the squeaky wheel gets the oil!!!!

Same error on the Win 10 machine: ActiveSync encountered a problem on the desktop - Support code: 0x85010014.
Suggestions?

2015-09-07T23:56:54+00:00 I managed to get Microsoft Mobile Device Centre to work on Windows 10 by un-installing the programme and then re-installing it. If you don't have a copy of MMDC go to https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/931937. Worked when connecting an old HTC running windows mobile 6.5 pro.
Good luck
