Windows 10: File Explorer opens at Windows 10 startup

I recently installed the November update on my computer and now the File Explorer runs at every start up. How can I go disable this and go back to normal?

File Explorer opens at startup

It turned out to be a setting. It was seeing it as a new drive and was set to open and view contents. I changed it to do nothing and it hasn't happened since.

Hi Ellis,

The AutoPlay settings can be changed to manage the behavior of your computer whenever it detects that a new external drive or memory card has been connected. Here are the steps to do so:

• Click Start.
• Type AutoPlay Settings and press Enter.
• Under Choose AutoPlay defaults, select the option you want for removable drives and memory cards.
  

For example, if you plug a USB drive to your computer and the AutoPlay pop-up appears, then the AutoPlay default is set to
Ask me every time. If you choose Take no action, then this pop-up won't show up anymore. If it's set to
Open folder to view files (File Explorer), then a File Explorer window will automatically open up each time you plug in a USB drive.

Let us know if you need more help with the AutoPlay settings on your computer.

 

Hi, this reference, albeit older, gives a basic sequence of steps to help you analyse the problem - I've not yet seen reports of this generally.
