For example, you can use AutoPlay to select an app that will automatically open photos on a removable drive when you plug it into your PC.

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.
AutoPlay allows you to choose different actions when you insert a removable device such as a CD, DVD or memory card into your PC. One of the best things about Windows 10 is that it lets you set AutoPlay default for the different type of media. AutoPlay detects the type of media you have on the disc and automatically opens the program you have set as AutoPlay default for that particular media. For example, if you have a DVD containing photos, then you could set the AutoPlay default to open the disc in File Explorer to view the media files.
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.
This tutorial will apply for computers, laptops, desktops, and tablets running the Windows 10 operating system (Home, Professional, Enterprise, Education) from all supported hardware manufactures, like Dell, HP, Acer, Asus, Toshiba, Lenovo, and Samsung.
