Windows 10: Autoplay -Open Device Stage

I have a camera.
For this camera Windows 10 "Auto play" is set to "Open Device Stage" which is run when this camera is connected via USB cable and then turned On.

With Windows 10 version 1809 the camera app is listed on the Task bar then runs and saves pictures from the camera to a folder on the computer. This is exactly what I expect and want to happen.

Unfortunately, with Windows 10 version 1903 the camera app loads and then a Microsoft pictures app runs (both apps are shown on the taskbar).

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get Auto play to run the camera app and not the Microsoft pictures app?
The only solution I can think of is to just return to Windows 10 version 1809 until version 1903 gets fixed.
