Q: Windows Mobile Device Center will no longer open on Windows 10. It crashes as soon as the program opens up, how do we correct this?

 

A: With the newer versions of Windows 10 a couple reg entries need to be added for Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC) to open properly again.

  1. Open Command Prompt as Administrator
  2. Add the following two reg keys in Cmd Prompt or PowerShell (Pressing enter after each command line)
    a. REG ADD HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\RapiMgr /v SvcHostSplitDisable /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
    b. REG ADD HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WcesComm /v SvcHostSplitDisable /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
    i. It should say successful after each entry
  3. Reboot the Laptop/Tablet
