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.
- Open Command Prompt as Administrator
-
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 - Reboot the Laptop/Tablet
