Windows 10: Stop music cd from starting to play immediately on loading

A simple question, I guess.

When I insert a music CD into my built-in CD-ROM the bl.....dy music starts playing right away. It's getting on my nerves because what I actually want to see is an Explorer type of page listing the individual files. I know there must be a setting somewhere but I simply can't find it. Old age?

Thanks in advance for any help stopping this annoying behaviour.

Windows Media will not burn my music discs to play on regular CD players

Hello CGaleBaker,

Could you please reply to some of my questions?

• Which Cd player are you referring to? What is the make and model?
• Did you try to play the music other cd player?

Well, I suspect there is some issue with the cd player itself as it is running fine on the computer. I suggest you to try playing in on different player and check first.

Let us know how it goes.
