Windows 10: Turn off autoplay for Mp3 in an email & open multiple players

I have clients that send me their mp3 auditions via email. I want to be able to open them but NOT have them start to autoplay. Sometimes I need to open 2 or more files and I want to be able to go back and forth to listen to them. In other words - I want more than one player open at a time showing the two different mp3 files. I've gone into settings and tried to turn off autoplay but the Windows 11 Media player still starts playing right away. So two problems - opening more than one player at a time for different mp3s. And turning off autoplay.Thanks for any help!

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

Also, check with the sound drivers as well.

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

For Memory Cards, the options available are:

Set your options and exit.
