Microsoft ActiveSync Connection Manager. ActiveSync is Microsofts free Synchronization manager which enables you to synchronize your Windows CE based handheld/palm-size PC with your desktop PC. You can synchronize documents but also e-mail and calendaring items. WCESCOMM starts whenever the PC boots up and runs in the background in the System Tray until it detects that a Pocket PC has been connected to your PC, at which points it shows up to begin the synchronization process.
Recommendation :
One of the most common problems with ActiveSync is the WCESCOMM process hanging because ActiveSync encountered problems during synchronization. When that happens the user often has no option but to shutdown and restart his PC before ActiveSync will again recognize his Pocket PC. Another issue is WCESCOMM interfering with your connection to a network, or preventing the user from using some of his serial or USB ports with other software. Finally, when not in use, WCESCOMM can often still consume up to 10% of CPU processing time ! Disabling it with Startup Manager does not work because it is re-installed as a startup item the next time you manually start ActiveSync !
