Windows 10: Missing "Import Photos and Videos" from autoplay for devices

yea I just found that, i guess I will have to use that for now instead of autoplay. Still confuses me ha ha. Thanks for the help

 

Doing it that way you'll have more control where it places things and whether they're in a folder or not.

You could tell windows not to do anything when you plug it and create a short cut on your desktop from Sony Camera in windows explorer to right click on and import.

Glad to help as much as I did.

 

Go to SETTINGS>DEVICES>AUTOPLAY>DEFAULT APP SETTINGS and then select the option to IMPORT PHOTOS etc.

 

-_- really? If it was the easy, I would. That option doesn't exist in the default app settings for me... THUS the issue I am having.

 

hi, I don't have a question or know how to post in a forum but i spent days trying to fix this and I know this information will help someone. if someone out there could please post this where it should go it will help alot of us out.


After running a registry cleaner, my autoplay no longer had any options. a usb drive only had configure for backup. and in the settings i did not have the option to chose the origional defaults either. after alot of searching I still came up empty handed but discovered where that information is sotred in the registry:


it is the autoplay handlers in : computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHING\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrntVersion\Explorer\AutoplayHandlers\Handl ers


also in event handlers.


I noticed I only had about 3 options. i upgraded my inlaws computer to windows 10 tonight and checked thier registry and there were about 20 options. so I exported the handlers folder and the event handlers folder to a usb, opened on my windows 10 PC and VOILA!!! all autoplay options now restored.


All i wanted to do was have autoplay oped usb drives to view folders and files. now i can!!


hope this helps! thanks forum ppl.
