Autoplay: Must be turned off for non-volume devices

d2ac90ea-b1de-49bb-aa59-fe8b271c7c2b

Allowing autoplay to execute may introduce malicious code to a system. Autoplay begins reading from a drive as soon as you insert media in the drive. As a result, the setup file of programs or music on audio media may start. This setting will disable autoplay for non-volume devices (such as Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) devices).
