How to stop auto-import when USB inserted (while option has been turned off in settings)

[Rudgr.com]

Lightroom 7.3.1. keeps opening the import dialog whenever I insert a USB drive into my computer. This "open import" setting has been turned off in Preferences but it opens regardless.

Anyone ideas????

My bad, Windows 10

If using Mac then try disabling from Image Capture application. I can't help with Windows.

Take a look here: http://www.thewindowsclub.com/set-autoplay-defaults-windows-10

There you can configure what is done when a memory card is detected.

Just a thought - have you looked at the auto play option with USB devices. A dropped down window should open when you plug in a USB device allowing you to choose what action to take. Trying choosing 'Take no action'. See if this works.

If not, right click on your USB device and open Autoplay. It might help!

The answer is on the first tab of the preferences (Edit-Preferences). Under Import Options the first checkbox is to "Show import dialog when a memory card is detected". Deselect this option.

[Solved] Windows Autoplay settings!

For Windows 10: Open start menu> type "Settings"> Search Settings for "AutoPlay Settings">For Removable Drive or Memory Card, my recommendation is to change to "Open folder to view files (file explorer)" or "Take no Action".


Cheers!
