Not sure how to phrase this, but there isn't anything wrong. You have
actually realized this by noting that your 6.5 device syncs, even though
WMDC doesn't 'launch'. Actually the interface doesn't come up. It actually
launches, and you likely hear the USB connect and sync connect sounds. Both
my 6.5 & 6.1 device does the same, connect with no UI launching. (Win 7
Ultimate, 64b). So I guess your 6.1 device is broken ;) If you look in the
options of AS, I bet you find a an option to either start the interface or
not. I recall that in early versions at least. I have looked and can't find
a similar option in WMDC, and I can't explain why one opens WMDC and one
doesn't. Personally I prefer it not openning, because once set up, I really
don't need it taking up space. I can access the device straight from file
explorer if I need to, and I can bring WMDC up if I need to change a
parameter. The 6.1 device does retain a partnership, right? It is not
asking to set up each time is it? On first connect, or connecting a device
that isn't partnered with a PC, WMDC is supposed to come up and provide the
sync, or just connect, option.
