Windows 10: Autoplay options missing in registry....Win 10 / 1903

Autoplay options missing in registry....Win 10 / 1903

After "policies" there should be / explorer and then some autoplay options...but those options are missing!

This is what shows up instead.

Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

How do I add the appropriate keys?

Windows 10 Autoplay

Have you checked the specific Autoplay settings for CDs an DVDs including the program\file associations for the different kinds of media they can hold? Windows has to know what to do with different file types, e.g. MP3s, MP4s JPGs etc.

Type 'Autoplay' into the Search Box on the Windows Task Bar and launch the Control Panel Autoplay Settings screen to check the settings thoroughly.

I also have a problem with autoplay in win 10. The DVD starts up then stops, however if I go into file explorer and then click on THIS PC the DVD starts up again and I get a message asking me what to do with the DVD.

I have tried

Follow these steps to stop and start the Plug and Play service.

• 
  Press Windows key + R top open
  Run command.
  
• 
  Type services.msc and hit
  Enter.
  
• 
  Search for Plug and Play service. Check if it shows
  running next to it as the status.
  
• 
  If yes, right click on the service and click on
  stop.
  
• 
  Now, again right click on it and click on
  start.
  

Also make sure that the AutoPlay option is
enabled on your computer. Follow the steps provided below:

• 
  Press Windows + X key.
  
• 
  Select Control panel.
  
• 
  Double click on AutoPlay option.
  
• 
  Check on the box, Use AutoPlay for all media and devices.
  

and to no avail.

This laptop has a clean Win 10 installed but another laptop had an upgrade to win 10 and that works OK

Any Ideas

Thank

In the autoplay option from the control panel the AUTOPLAY option is enabled and all others in the list to use the default option.

Any other ideas please as I may have to clean build and start again

Thanks Phil

 

Autoplay Options

Hello,

I would like to know if you already tried to follow the steps on the article about
How to configure AutoPlay default settings on Windows 10.

If yes, then there might be broken component under Registry. You might need to reset the default settings of the Auto Play feature of Windows 10. Please follow the instructions on the article here: Fix:
Autoplay Not Working in Windows 10.
