Windows 10: Restoring autoplay after windows upgrade

Every time I do a Windows upgrade, Autoplay gets cancelled and I need to reset it in Control Panel and also in Registry. To simplify the routine procedure, I would like a registry hack that changes 'e' to '1' in the value of the DWORD : 'NoDriveTypeAutoRun' under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer. Can anyone oblige ?

Program doesn't exist for Autoplay

Hi,

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

I suggest you to set the Autoplay settings and check if it helps.

Follow the steps below.

• Press Windows key +X, select Control Panel.
• Go to Control Panel and locate AutoPlay.
• In AutoPlay settings make sure that you check Use AutoPlay for all media and devices.
• Next click the Reset all defaults button. Your Autoplay settings should be reset to default.

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

You can also try downloading Windows Media Player 10

Hope this helps.

Autoplay promt not showing in windows 10

This suggestion did not work - the Autoplay setting is already correct (and already set as suggested). Autoplay worked perfectly in Window 8.1/Pro (64Bit/w Media Center) before the Windows 10 Pro/64Bit upgrade was applied. I'm not interested in hearing
about doing a clean install of Windows 10 either - especially when the problem did not exist prior to installing the Windows 10 upgrade. I have reimaged (image restored) the system back to Windows 8.1 twice, then allowed it to upgrade again to Windows 10-Pro/64
- Same result ... Autoplay for removable media & devices is killed by doing the Windows 10 upgrade...

Next suggestion please...

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community, we appreciate your interest in Windows 10.

Please do let us know if you have installed all the pending updates on your device.

Also, check with the sound drivers as well.

I suggest you to check with the setting for AutoPlay and check if it helps.

Even if you have turned on the AutoPlay option, there might be some option chosen Choose AutoPlay defaults. I suggest you to check with those options.

Steps:

• Press Windows key, type AutoPlay and click on AutoPlay settings.
• To enable AutoPlay, move the Use AutoPlay for all media and devices button to On.
• Next you can choose and set your AutoPlay defaults.

For Removable drives, the following options are available from the drop-down menu:

• Take no action
• Open folder to view files
• Ask me every time
• Configure this drive for backup (File History)
• Configure storage settings (Settings).

For Memory Cards, the options available are:

• Play video files using alternate
  software
• Play using Windows Media Player
• Take no action
• Open folder to view files
• Ask me every time.

Set your options and exit.

Hope it helps. Kindly update the status of the issue, we will be happy to help you.
