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.

Thanks I tried it and it did not seem to do anything.
Did you try it with a PPC / WM 5 or WM 6 device?
I am using WMDC with and without compatibility mode but it cannot even be bothered to open when a PPC is connected or when it is started manually.

2018-01-30T15:16:47+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.
Hello mdelatonow,
I have been in the registry before, but I am a bit confused by all the parameters in your string. Can you explain this a bit more for asemi professional please.

2018-01-30T17:16:52+00:00 O.k. I managed to add the registry keys and the PC with win10 sees and acknowledges the PPC and they start the synchronization process but then I get an error and sadly the process stops here. On a dual boot win7 synchronising is no problem at all.

2018-01-30T18:30:01+00:00 I have a similar problem. WMDC will sync files but fails to sync Outlook Contacts & Calendar. I thought I might try by setting it to transfer all my contacts & calendar as if it was an initial sync. All it did was wipe the contacts and calendar from my PDA and then fail. Total mess up!!
