Windows 10: How to disable Windows 10 headphone popup?

I've recently been trying to look up to disable the popup when you plug in your headphones, because it always doesnt connect the headphones until i click confirm and plays an annoying tone. It seems that there used to be an option to diable it, but it doesnt show up on my computer? I don't know if this is because of my model of laptop or because of a recent update. If anyone knows a recent workaround that'd be helpful.

Windows 10 - headphones disability to work

Hello,

Thank you for visiting Microsoft Community and providing us with the detailed description about the issue.

As per the description, I understand that you are experiencing issue with headphones not working in the system.

I certainly understand your concern and will try my best to help you.

In order to understand the issue more clearly, I would request you to provide me with the following information.

• 
  What is the make and model of the headphones?
  
• 
  Have you tried connecting the headphones to another jack or another computer and checked if they are working?
  

Make sure your headphones aren't plugged into the line out (headphone) jack of your sound card or computer (unless you want to be listening with headphones rather than speakers). When you plug in headphones, most computers
automatically cut the sound to the speakers. Ensure the headphone is fully and firmly inserted into the correct jack. Plug in the headphone and see if the same shows up in Device Manager.

I would suggest you to try the following methods and check if it helps.

Method 1:

Open the Hardware and Devices troubleshooter.

Note: If your computer is having problems with a recently installed device or other hardware, try using the Hardware and Devices troubleshooter to fix the problem. It checks for common issues
and makes sure that any new device or hardware attached to your computer was installed correctly.

If issue persists, follow method 2.



Method 2:



Check with the volume settings. Please follow the steps given below and check if it helps.

• 
  Right click on the speaker icon in taskbar and select volume control options.
  
• 
  Put a check mark on "All devices currently playing sound".
  
• 
  Make sure you have "The default communication device unchecked".
  
• 
  Place a check mark on both speakers and headphones. Click Apply and OK.
  

If issue persists, follow method 3.



Method 3:



This happens when you have the speakers set to default. We need to set the headphones as default. Please follow the steps given below and check if it helps.

• 
  Perform the task mentioned below to set speakers as default.
  
• 
  Go to Start and click on control Panel.
  
• 
  Click in Sound, then a new window will open up.
  
• 
  In the new windows click on the tab "Playback" and right click in the window and click on Show Disabled devices.
  
• 
  Now check if the headphone is listed there and right click on it and choose enable.
  
• 
  Highlight that headphone and click on "Set as Default".
  

Also try to install latest chipset drivers in the system and check if it helps.

The above steps holds good for Windows 10 as well.

Also, I would suggest you to refer to the suggestions provided by

Tweaktown popup to disable adblocker?

Using adblocker is the simplest way but if the site urges to disable the adblocker, then I block the popups

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
