Windows 10: How to disable "Which Device Did You Plug In?" Prompt thread

I've recently purchased a new laptop and every time I plug in the headphones it annoys me with "Which Device Did You Plug In?" prompt.

Today was the day I had enough of it and I decided to try and fix it, but after 3 hours straight of seeing old posts with outdated windows versions just did not help.

I finally found a solution myself, but I'm also seeing another person with the same issue, without a much outdated version of Windows.


I wanted to reply to him that I've found a solution, but the thread is locked??? Why would a thread be locked? That just doesn't make sense.

So I looked into his profile to see if I can direct message him, guess what, I can't.

So there is no way that I can tell another user that I have found a solution to a problem on Windows? That's just bs.


Here is this user's thread:

What could I do to get Microsoft to unlock it? Or how do I let the user know my solution to this problem?

Device Installer Prompt

Hi,

To get better clarity on the issue, kindly answer the questions below:

• Upon plugging in the USB to VGA adapter, are you able to see it on the File Explorer?
• Have you tried plugging the USB to VGA adapter to the other computer? Does it give you the Device Installer Prompt?
  

We will need to reset your Autoplay settings and reconfigure it. To do this, kindly follow the steps below:

• Press Windows key + X on your keyboard.
• Click Control Panel.
• On the Control Panel, choose Hardware and Sounds.
• Click AutoPlay.
• On the lower part, click Reset all defaults.
• Restart your computer.

After the restart, plug in the USB to VGA adapter, then check if it prompt.

Let us know it goes.

 

Headphones output device is not plugged in

A quick update about additional steps I tried:

1. Uninstall KB4512508 (no effect)
2. Re-install KB4512508 (no effect)
3. Disable and re-enable High Definition Audio Device via device manager (no effect)
   

As a last ditch I booted the PC with a live OS from USB storage and to my surprise the Headphones socket on the front panel was detected and worked fine. I think this should rule out a hardware-related issue.

Once again, I would appreciate any suggestion to solve this problem.

Best regards,

I would suggest you to follow the steps and check if it helps.

Disable the PC Speakers and check if it helps.

• Right click on Sound Icon in the task bar and go to Playback devices.
  
• Select Speaker and click on properties.
  
• Go to Levels tab, and mute (or you can reduce it) PC Speaker and check if it helps.
