WN11-CC-000180 - Autoplay must be turned off for non-volume devices.

Information

Allowing autoplay to execute may introduce malicious code to a system. Autoplay begins reading from a drive as soon as media is inserted 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).

Solution

Configure the policy value for Computer Configuration >> Administrative Templates >> Windows Components >> AutoPlay Policies >> 'Disallow Autoplay for non-volume devices' to 'Enabled'.
