Hello, everytime I plug in my external hard drive to my laptop, Lightroom Classic starts up and want to import my photos. The curious thing is that I haven't set it up.

So my question is: How can I disable the auto-start-up everytime I plug in a hard drive?

Maybe anyone has a solution. 🙂

Hi there,

We're sorry about the trouble with Lightroom Classic. You can try disabling the option to Show import dialog when a memory card is detected by going to the Preferences for Lightroom Classic, then General. Once done, quit and relaunch Lightroom Classic to check if that helps.

Let us know if it helps!
