MMPK's coming to Windows?

Question - Are MMPK's coming to windows at all? Any way to consume these while NOT on a mobile device.

We currently have an enterprise set-up. Unfortunately our network (in office) is excruciatingly slow. While I like having maps connected to our server, it's not ideal right now. We could go back to hosted maps, the problem is that we currently have to overwrite hosted layers in ArcMap (can't use Pro because we don't use Portal yet) anytime we want to update. While I could automate this, every time I overwrite I have to re-configure all my pop-ups (there are a lot). So.... I'm looking for a better solution. MMPK's are great on mobile devices and *should be* easy to automate replacing weekly. But what are my options for our desktop users? Any other ideas?

Configuring Portal and upgrading our network is in our plan for 2019.
