How to Disable or Enable Autoplay?

Disable Windows Autoplay


By default, when you insert any removable media (ie. Flash Drive, CD etc.) on your PC, windows will automatically open the drive. Or it may play media or start program contained by that drive. If you're good to go with this Autoplay Policy, then it's okay. But if your PC is vulnerable to virus, then you must turn off Autoplay. 


There are different methods for different versions of Windows which you can use to turn off Autoplay. But I'm gonna show you a universal method which applies to all running versions of Windows. 



Enable/ Disable Autoplay - Universal Method

Applies to:
  • Windows 2000/ XP
  • Windows Vista/ 7
  • Windows 8/ 8.1

I would like to use Group Policy Editor to perform this task. Simply follow the steps below:
  1. Press Start + R to open Run.
  2. Type gpedit.msc > Press Enter.
  3. Now you will get the Group Policy Editor window.
  4. Hit on Administrative Template under Computer Configuration > Windows Components > AutoPlay Policies > Double Click on Turn of Autoplay.
  5. There are three options - Not Configured/ Enabled/ Disabled. To turn off Autoplay, choose - Enabled > Apply > OK. 
  6. If you choose Not Configured or Disabled, Autoplay will be Enabled. 
How to turn off autoplay by gpedit.msc
Note: Autoplay Policy is available both on Computer and User Configuration. You should always use Computer Configuration. Because if there is any conflict between the two, Computer Configuration settings will be preferred. 


Turn off Autoplay - Shortcut Method

 Another handy way to turn off Autoplay is choosing - Take No Action. When you insert any media on your PC, Windows may ask you what to do? 

 In that time, you can simply choose Take No Action to turn off Autoplay. 
Turn Off Autoplay
Note: If you choose any action, next time this notification will not appear. 
Turn off/ on Autoplay from Control Panel

 You can also turn autoplay on/ off from control panel. Follow the steps below:

  1. Go to Control Panel.
  2. Then open AutoPlay from there. 
  3. Removable Drives > Choose Take No Action to disable autoplay or Choose Ask me Everytime. 
  4. To enable autoplay, choose Open folders to view files. That's it. 

Disable Autoplay from Control Panel

Office 2010 Activator (KMS) !!

By
Day by day cracking has been a tough job. But yet very possible. Earlier a software may require only serial key to activate. But today there are many other options. Sometimes you might be asked to connect to the internet to activate or sometimes you're asked to make a phone call! 






Microsoft Office 2010 has the same problem. It is not simply activated by the CD key. Sometimes CD key may not be asked during the installation process. If you're required to enter serial then try any of the following:

KMSpico 9.1.3 is really an amazing tool for activating Office 2013. And as a bonus, you can also activate Windows 8 or 8.1 with this activator. Earlier I shared different activators for Office and Windows. And those activators are working fine. If you can't activate your Office or Windows by those activators, then you can try this one. 





I've got Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013 (final version) last week. And before that I was using Office 2010. After installing Office 2013, I was unable to use it before activating. And with this KMSpico 9.1.3 my Office gets activated within minutes. It's very easy to use! 






Furthermore, this KMS is capable of activating -  Windows 8 and 8.1 (All Versions) Windows Vista and 7 (Business, Professional & Enterprise Edition)Office 2010 and 2013Windows Server 2008/2008R2Windows Server 2012/2012R2

When you Disable Automatic Update?

If your net bandwidth is limitedIf you don't need windows updates at allIf the updates cause activators not work in your PC
 In earlier versions of Windows (Windows 7, 8 or 8.1), you can manually configure the update settings. There were four settings: Install updates automaticallyDownload updates but let me choose whether to install themCheck for updates but let me choose . . . Never check for updates
In Windows 10, you don't have any option to choose any of these settings. It's simply disabled. You can't use the drop down menu. Look at the image below:
