Windows 10: How can I stop auto play of DVD?

Hi,When I insert a disc, PowerDVD will start autoplay.In AutoPlay setting, there is a global switch. If I turn that off, it will stop autoplay for everything. But I'd want Windows 11 to automatically open the folder when a memory card is inserted. There is no specific setting entry for DVD/Blu-ray Disc.How can I turn off autoplay for optical drive only?Thanks

:)
