First, in case anyone else struggles to find this setting. A nice logical dialog, and I dropped down the list for Audio CD and Enhanced Audio CD and selected Take no action. Hmm, I wonder if the old Control Panel can help? I opened Control Panel and typed Autoplay: No, there is no option for “Do nothing” and if you have ever clicked that “Look for an app in the Store” thing, you will know how unrewarding it is. Further, if you don’t like an association here, you can’t easily change it. So apparently Power Media Player has grabbed the file association for files ending dot (no further extension) but it did not show how it was picking up CD autoplay. Perhaps this would show me what it has hooked into. I clicked the link in this dialog for Set defaults by app and selected PowerDVD. No setting for CDs here, though there is a default music player, and it is not PowerDVD.
This dialog also has a link for Default App Settings so I clicked that. Autoplay is on, but there is no setting for CDs. I typed AutoPlay into the Start menu and up came the Windows 10 settings. Windows 10 is meant to give the user more control in this respect. I was not surprised that it had grabbed an autoplay association even though I did not recall getting any options on installation. PowerDVD is a good DVD and Blu-Ray player though the company’s products are among the most annoying in terms of pressing you to upgrade or buy additional products. I installed Cyberlink PowerDVD on a new Windows 10 PC (Fall Creators Update) and was annoyed to find that it opened whenever I put a CD into the computer drive.
