Windows mobile device center download 64 bit. Related: windows 10 64 bit windows mobile device center internet explorer windows vista 64 bit microsoft windows mobile device center for windows 7 64 bit. Create fully responsive eLearning courses and deliver great learning experiences across devices. Apr 02, 2018 In most cases at this point, the Windows Mobile device will still not connect. If this happens, uninstall WMDC (Start-Settings-Apps, uninstall both 'Windows Mobile Device Center' and 'Windows Mobile Device Center Driver Update'), and then re-install WMDC using the same.exe. After this second install, WMDC should be working. If you're using an iPad, iPhone or an Android or Windows device with a screen size 10.1 inches or smaller, you can download and use the free Office mobile applications. If the screen size of your device is larger than 10.1 inches, you'll need an Office 365 subscription.

UPDATE: Some good suggestions which seem to work are now at this web page.
PREVIOUS: I am able to get Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC) to install, but not fully run. Installing required manually enabling the .NET Framework 3.5 similar to as described at the following web page.
After install, you must right click on Start, and then click on Computer Management > Services & Applications > Services. Scroll down to right-click on 'Windows Mobile-2003-based device connectivity' to select Properties > Log On. Switch to 'Local System account' with checking 'Allow service to interact with desktop' then click OK.
On the handheld, tap on Start > Settings > Connections > USB to PC icon, uncheck the “Enable Advanced Network Functionality” checkbox, tap OK, and then connect the cable.
WMDC never shows connected, but ActiveSync on the handheld does, and you can at least open File Explorer on your PC to “browse the contents of the remote device” for transferring files. I am not sure how much this limits RAPI functions.
Install Windows Mobile Device Center X64
These Services settings changes must also be re-applied every time you Restart your PC. So this is obviously not a final solution.

I had the same problem.
I just did the following because I had 3.5 net framework :
Click right click on Start, and then click on Computer Management > Services & Applications > Services. Scroll down to right-click on 'Windows Mobile-2003-based device connectivity' to select Properties > Log On. Switch to 'Local System account' with checking 'Allow service to interact with desktop' then click OK.Restart my computer and it actually works again.
Thanks for sharing!

Try this
Open the command line as an administrator and run these two commands:
After that, reboot your PC/laptop and the Windows Mobile device center should work again.

This worked for me, although not quite perfectly. When I disconnect my device the Device Center should stay up and show Disconnected, but instead it shuts down.

Just in case this helps someone.
Trying to connect VS2008 to WM6.1 device for a legacy project. I have been successful connecting to a WinCE device with just the registry update.
I made the changes as above, the registry updates, services logon to local and interact with desktop. Still couldn't get it to work.
Finally, I disabled the AVG advanced firewall and left the Windows firewall settings as they were and it worked. The firewall is set up so that any apps requiring access through them should cause popups but they didn't.
Can't see anyway to customize the AVG advanced firewall so will leave it off, at least while developing.
Thanks for everyone's help.
