28How to Disable Auto Open USB in Windows 10/11 | Windows 10/11 AutoPlay Settings
On Windows 10, AutoPlay is a feature that allows you to decide a default action when connecting a USB drive, memory card, and other kind of media or device to your computer.
When enabled, connecting a removable media, Windows 10 will detect it, and AutoPlay will launch the media using a default action, which can include opening the folder with File Explorer, Settings app to configure the storage, import images, or another action.
However, if you don't find this feature useful, or you want to change the default settings to take a different action when connecting a USB flash drive or another media or device, you can quickly manage this feature using the Settings app or Control Panel.
