Windows 10. Since my last update (KB4020102) I cannot communicate between laptop and Windows CE data collector. In snooping around on the web, I see reference to Windows Mobile Device Center being disabled in Windows 10 due to some threat of ransomware.

Here is how to open Device Manager in Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, or XP. You will need to start Device Manager to manage hardware, fix driver issues, etc. I haven't managed to get WMDC working on Windows 10 (it hanged on splash screen upon start), so I've finally uninstalled it. But now I have a Portable Devices / Compact device in the Device Manager and I can browse my Windows Compact 7 device within Windows Explorer. All my apps using RAPI also work. Feb 27, 2019 Open the Device Manager in Microsoft Windows XP and 2000 On the desktop or in the Start menu, right-click on My Computer and select Properties. In the System Properties window, click the Hardware tab. On the Hardware tab, click the Device Manager button. This download is an incremental release to Windows Embedded CE 6.0, if you do not have CE 6.0, you can also download an evaluation copy from Microsoft® download center. Windows Embedded CE 6.0 R2 provides the latest breakthrough technologies that help Windows Embedded CE 6.0 device makers efficiently build small footprint devices that connect.
If this is true, does MS intend to make a patch or upgrade available to rectify this????? This action has effectively put me out of business, or at least caused a great problem in transferring critical date back and forth out of my data collector. I have an old machine with Win 7 on it and it works fine, but is in another building. Tennis shoe network...
This is most frustrating as until my last update in Win 10 it has been running fine. Win 7 was a great release. I have several thousand dollars tied up in equipment for which the speedy and non-problematic exchange of data between devices is critical.
Anybody else...I just want to know if and when. For me there is no particular advantage of Win 10 over Win 7 and I will likely switch back. When something is working fine it does not need to be fixed.
Hours have been lost on trying to resolve this...

Does anyone know how I can get a Windows Mobile 6.5 PDA to connect up to a Windows 10 PC?
Before upgrading the PC from Window 8.1 I was able to use Windows Mobile Device Center to link up to the PDA over USB. This allowed me to access files on the PDA via Windows Explorer, access the internet from the PDA over our network and deploy to the PDA via Visual Studio 2008.
I had to uninstall Windows Mobile Device Center as part of the Windows 10 installation, as it was flagged as incompatible with Windows 10. I can't seem to find an alternative for Windows 10?

Unfortunately the Windows Mobile Device Center stopped working out of the box after the Creators Update for Windows 10. The application won't open and therefore it's impossible to get the sync working. In order to get it running now we need to modify the ActiveSync registry settings. Create a BAT file with the following contents and run it as administrator:
Restart the computer and everything should work.

I have managed to get my PDA working properly with Windows 10.
For transparency when I posted the original question I had upgraded a Windows 8.1 PC to Windows 10, I have since moved to using a different PC that had a clean Windows 10 installation.
These are the steps I followed to solve the problem:
- First of all I installed Visual Studio 2008.
- Then I installed Microsoft Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1
- Then Windows Mobile 6 Professional and Standard Software Development Kits Refresh
- Then Windows Mobile 6.5 Developer Tool Kit
- Finally I opened up the Mobile Device Center, went to Mobile Device Settings ->Connection Settings and made sure DMA was selected under 'Allow connections to one of the following'

Had the same problem. Came across an article from Zebra with the fix that worked for me:
- Open services.msc
- Go to Windows Mobile-2003-ba**sed device connectivity
- Right click Windows Mobile-2**003-based device connectivity and click Properties
- Go to Log On Tab
- Choose Local System Account
- Click Apply
- Go to General Tab
- Press Stop and wait
- Once stopped, press Start
- Press OK
- Restart your PC
- Retry the Windows Mobile Device Center

Here is the answer:Download the 'Windows Mobile Device Center' for your machine type, likely 64bit.

Before you run the install, change the compatibility settings to 'Windows 7'.Then install it...Then run it: You'll find it under 'WMDC'..Your device should now recognize, when plugged in, mine did!

Install Windows Mobile Device Center for your architecture. (It will install older versions of .NET if needed.) In USB to PC settings on device uncheck Enable advanced network and tap OK. This worked for me on 2 different Windows 10 PCs.

All my apps using RAPI also work.Maybe this is the result of installing/uninstalling WMDC, or probably this functionality was already presented on Windows 10 and I've just overlooked it initially.
