Stop AutoPlay Popup part 1

Hipster Doofus

I've got an external drive hooked up through USB. Everytime I boot up I get this auto play popup all the time.

Is there a way to stop this happening at bootup as I know it is there & it is only for storage?

Delphin

Type gpedit.msc in run and hit enter

In the group policy windows navigate to,

user configuration>Administrative templates>Windows components>Auto play policies



In the right pane double click on turn off autoplay and make it as enabled...

You are done...

Thanks Delphin. I'll see how that goes.

You are welcome..

Just tried this fix, and it works.
Note (even if obvious in retrospect):
for a USB (external) drive, one needs to choose "All Drives" and not "CD-ROM and removable media drive" (see Capture.JPG attachment).
