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.

    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

    32 bit ver

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=14

    64 bit ver

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=3182

    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.
