Windows 10: Windows AutoPlay no longer working

Hello,For some time now Windows autoplay doesn't seem to work anymore.Back then, when I plugged in my camera, the windows pictures app would automatically open which it just doesn't do anymore. I've already done all the troubleshooting things, like resetting the autoplay setting and setting everything to "always ask", it still doesn't work though. is there any more that I can do?any help is greatly appreciated

autoplay doesn't work after loading windows 10

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.
