About this tag
Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC) is a synchronization tool for Windows Mobile devices on Windows Vista, 7, and 8. Forum discussions cover connection issues, such as WMDC not launching or recognizing devices like the HTC Touch Diamond or Dell Axim after reconnection, often requiring manual restart. Users also report problems with Bluetooth syncing to Exchange Server, where an email program prompt blocks unattended sync. Uninstalling WMDC can leave residual startup entries like wmdcBase.exe. Crashes during syncing, particularly with Windows 7 and devices like the iPAQ, are another common frustration. These threads reflect troubleshooting efforts for device recognition, driver installation, and persistent sync errors.
