    • Insert USB or DVD to see if Autoplay is working.

    You can also try downloading Windows Media Player 10

    Hope this helps.

    Problems with autoplay and my JVC camcorder

    Hi Marchony,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft community.

    I suggest you to follow the Methods below.

    Method 1: Hardware Troubleshoot

    Windows 10 has a built-in troubleshooter to check and fix issues with hardware and devices. I would suggest you to run this troubleshooter to check if the issue is with your touch pad.

    Refer these steps:

    • Press Windows key +X, select
      Control panel

    • Change the view by option on the top right to
      Large icons
    • Click on troubleshooting and click on the
      view all option on the left panel
    • Run the Windows Store apps troubleshooter

    Method 2:
    Update USB Controllers.

    To update the USB Controllers from Device Manager follow these steps.

    • Go to Device manager in control panel.
    • Select Device manager and a Device Manager window will pop-up.
    • Double Click on USB Controllers to expand.
    • Right click on the USB Controllers that is listed and select Update.

    Method 3 : Follow these steps to specify what should happen when you insert different types of digital media into your computer.

    1. Open AutoPlay by clicking the Start button, in the search box, type autoplay, and then click AutoPlay.

    2. Under MEDIA, find the type of media that you want to change the AutoPlay setting for.

    3. Click the action that you want AutoPlay to take when you insert CD/DVD into your computer.

    4. Click Save.

    Hope this information is helpful. Please feel free to reply in case you face any other issues with Windows in future.

    Thanks.

    Autoplay

    Thank you for the response. Here are the steps that we would like to suggest for initial troubleshooting:

    Try to reset the Autoplay settings.

    • Open the Control Panel and change View by:
      to Small icons.
    • Select Autoplay.
    • Click Reset all defaults.
    • Once you are done, check if the issue still persists.
    Verify the Startup Type of Shell Hardware Detection Service.

    • Press Win+R and type services.msc in the Run dialog box.
    • In the Services window, locate Shell Hardware Detection and check the
      Status and Startup Type.
    • If the Startup Type is not Automatic, double-click the service and choose
      Automatic
      from the drop-down menu.
    • If the service is not running, select Start in the Service status and click
      OK.
    Feel free to post back for an update.
