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)

    certainly when using wm6.5. devices that rely on Active sync.

    the Windows Mobile Device Center and Sync Center are two different things with two different purposes. The mobile device center lets you connect with and configure mobile devices running Windows such as RF Scanners. The Sync Center syncs files from your PC to the server. 

    RoySerna asked about the Device center. How is showing him the sync center helpful? 

    RoySerna- I'm having the same issue. Upgraded to Windows 10 and installed Mobile Device Center but still troubleshooting to get it to work.

    Hi I am trying to connect up a data capturing pda. I connect it through the docking station and it automatically installs wmdc but device center does not open. But when I open task manager it shows its running in the background i also tried using the sync center but it also does not pick up the device there. the pda runs on Windows CE 6. is there any way to get wmdc to run on windows 10 or do I need to downgrade to windows 8 or windows 7 to get it to work?

    I had the same problem, I updated the computers with Windows 10 and this stopped working Windows Mobile Center. but searching the web a bit I found the WMDC-Helper.exe program at http://www.junipersys.com/Juniper-Systems-Rugged-Handheld-Computers/support/Knowledge-Base/Support-Knowledge-Base-Topics/ Desktop-Connection-ActiveSync-or-Windows-Mobile-Device-Center / WMDC-in-Windows-10 and returned to work the program without problems which was great relief because in the company it is of vital importance the use of it. I use it for my Trimble TSCe TAB for GPS. first --- install WMDC as windows vista SP2 compatibility, then install WMDC-helper as administrator, once done, just restart your PC and enjoy. Thanks to Mario Vega Cervantes for the post.
