Would this thread help? -US/bbf0f1db-3e8c-42df-b47b-e0fb855d74fc/windows-mobile-device-center-wont-open-nor-reinstall?forum=windowsmobiledev The original thread is a little dated but the latest poster seems to have had some success but I am not sure if it is the same issue as you are discussing.




Windows Mobile 5.0 Rndis Driver



The condition that first appeared in 1703 where the 2 windows mobile services were not loading in the same service host (and thus could not communicate with one another) will still exist but that can be resolved with the SvcHostSplitDisable related tweaks that you already know about.


5) To fix issues with WMDC closing after disconnecting a devcie, follow the steps here: -us/mobiledevices/forum/wp6n-sync/windows-mobile-device-center-fails-to-launch/191e6a44-df8b-4ef3-a772-91d04c299435?auth=1


I managed to find a few workarounds as described here -> h**ps://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-hardware/rndis-usb-driver-causing-bsod-on-windows-10-fall/b8420302-978c-4d7d-b5f6-2158174bf993?auth=1&rtAction=1518687999909


windows mobile device center Not Working on my lenovo laptop windows 10 pro 64 bit. I have 3 desktop computers with windows 10 pro and it work fine on them. can it be a bad setting? the WMDC starts with the green rectangle but then it just disappears it doesn't seem to attempt a link. This is my field computer, it does me absolutely no use if I can't hook it up to the data collector. the field device is window CE 6.5 pro.


On the shoulders of giants, I stand. My vague thanks to Apple for having at least some IOKit sample code available (even though the last time it successfully built was 10.2.x); it was a decent start reading to understand how I might want to structure this. Substantial thanks to David Brownell, who wrote the rndis_host driver for Linux; some portions of HoRNDIS were ported over from that work. David Brownell also wrote the f_rndis driver that allows Android/Linux devices to behave like RNDIS devices; reading that source helped to understand why HoRNDIS wasn't working in the early stages. (Sadly, David Brownell passed away in April of 2011. Thanks for all of your hard work, David; may you rest in peace.)


The specified device appears to be claimed by another driver (rndis_host) on the host operating system which means that the device may be in use. To continue, the device will first be disconnected from its current driver.


The host_mac address will be used on the server's network interface. The kvm_mac means the address that will be assigned to the local interface on the PiKVM. The KVM interface will be called usb0network interface. If the host_mac or kvm_mac is not specified, a random value will be used. The driver parameter means the protocol that will be used for the USB network. The default value is ecm so it can be passed it this example. Other possible values are eem, ncm, rndis and rndis5.


This has been proven to work with Windows:1. Set the driver type to rndis (see above)2. Download this driver on the Windows machine and unzip it somewhere: [ -rndis-driver-windows.zip] 3. Open the devices manager \ 4. Select Properties of the Composite KVM Device \ 5. Select the RNDIS Device and click properties \ 6. Switch to the "Driver" Tab and then click "Update driver"7. Click "Browse my computer for driver software" \ 8. Click "Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my Computer" \ 9. From the list of available hardware types, scroll down and select "Network adapters", then click next \ 10. Click "Have disk" \ 11. Click Browse, navigate to the folder where you've stored the driver and select the RNDIS.inf, press Open and then OK \ 12. Select "Acer Netchip RNDIS/Ethernet Gadget" and click Next \ 13. Dismiss the warning about non-compatible drivers by clicking "Yes" \ 14. You're done - the device should now be recognized. \ 15. Verify the card is working by pinging your piKVM in a console: ping 169.254.0.1 \
