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.

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

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.
