Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC) on Windows 10 Pro

Anonymous

Recently I had an issue running the WMDC on a x-64 based machine with Windows 10 Pro Version 18362 to connect to a mobile device running on Windows CE. I uninstalled the WMDC and installed the newest Version 6.1 of WMDC for x-64 based systems but it did not get me any further.

I also remember the problems with WMDC after the Fall Creators Updates and I am wondering if it could be a similar problem.

Can anybody help me out on this one? Thanks!

    Hi,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    For better clarity, please help us with the details requested below:

    • What is the exact issue you are facing while connecting a device?
    • Do you receive any error message?

    The Microsoft Windows Mobile Device Center replaces ActiveSync for Windows Vista. Since you are already using it on Windows 10, and facing issues in connection a device, I would suggest you to refer the Troubleshooting tips section in the article Description of Windows Mobile Device Center and see if that helps.

    However, we have Windows Sync Center in Windows 10, which allows you to sync between your PC and certain mobile devices that are compatible with Sync Center.

    Refer the steps mentioned below to configure Windows Sync Center:

    1. Press Windows Logo key + R, to open Run dialog box.
    2. Type mobsync and click on OK.
    3. Click on Manage offline files from the left pane.
    4. On the General tab, click on Enable offline files to enable the offline files.
    5. You can configure the Disk Usage by going to Disk Usage tab. If you wish to change the disk usage limits click on Change limits.
    6. If you want to Encrypt the files, go the Encryption tab and select Encrypt.

    For more information, see Sync Center

    Hi,

    Thanks for the reply.

    Regarding the open points for better clarity:

    • The problem is that the Windows Mobile Device Center failed to execute. It just did not open anymore.
    • I did not receive any error message.

    Thanks for suggesting Sync Center for Windows 10. I will check if the device I am dealing with is compatible.

    Best Regards,

    Fabio
