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.

    MS just updated my Windows 10 with new privacy settings and also a "creator" something or another. Now, my Windows Mobile Device Center won't work...heck, it won't even load or open! Any suggestions?

    I had a similar problem a couple of people posted this link, download and run the utility.  It fixed permission and registry entries,  reboot after running and you should be ok

    Thank you for the speedy, helpful response. However, I've tried the link several times and keep getting the same error message...

    Failed:  You need to run this program as Administrator

        Right click on the executable and select 'Run as administrator'

    suggestions?

    Thanks Rick...instead of clicking "run" on the above link, I saved it, right-clicked the file, ran as an administrator, restarted and am good to go! Much obliged!!
