The AutoPlay settings on Windows allow users to choose different actions when devices are inserted or attached to a Windows computer. By default, Windows 11 will display a pop-up asking you to select what steps to take when you insert a media or connect a new device. It works if you haven’t changed anything.

Here, whenever you insert an external storage device on your Windows computer, the system will show you a list of actions you can take. It is based on the type of device that has been connected to the computer. If the AutoPlay settings have been configured, then the system will automatically perform the action that has already been defined. If that is not the case, it will display a pop-up and ask to take action.

In this risewindows post, we will show you how you can reset AutoPlay settings to their default in Windows 11.
