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.

Sync Center is still there in Windows 10 (Windows key + X > click Control Panel)

    Hi,

    Workaround has been discussed here. Not 100%-solved, but works most of the time...

    Thanks Alex.  I'm curious, have you been able to find a solution for the services crashing when you disconnect a device, other than your original recommendation of changing the services "recovery" settings?

    Hi,

    no, not yet. It is necessary to debug of the service without the source code, this takes time (and probably, will not be solvable at all). The workaround with restarting is ok for me for now. 

    Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure, MS will not fix it. Someone should use the direct contact to the development team, then we could except the solution :)

    Alex
