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.

2017-10-31T15:53:01+00:00 The following two keys has worked for several different clients using Mobile Device Center on their Windows 10 machines. I haven't seen it not work yet! It appears to be a full solution for my scenario.
Install Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1

Add the following two reg keys in Cmd Prompt or PowerShell and then open RegEdit to confirm all is well
REG ADD HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\RapiMgr /v SvcHostSplitDisable /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
REG ADD HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WcesComm /v SvcHostSplitDisable /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
Reboot the computer. This has been working consistently for every machine so far when the symptom is the software opens briefly and then soft-crashes to the screen.

2017-12-12T13:39:34+00:00 No idea if you solved this, but i had a similar issue and switched off all my anti virus for a few mins and then added the code. turned off the pc and back on again, restarted the anti virus ( ran a full scan just in case!) and bingo!
The unfortunate news is that as there seems to be a new issue with every win 10 update, we are only a few months away from a new problem. With microsoft dumping the whole windows 10 mobile thing as well as support for older win 6 and 6.5 going next year i believe.... i see alot of people having alot of very serious issues. We run wasp software here and they just can't answer me when i ask what are they doing as their software will soon become unusable with most windows systems... Alot of places are switching to android based devices and software.
