Solved File association when using usb sticks

Just recently, whenever I use a USB stick, I get the following prompt:





Can anyone please help me get rid of this useless annoying prompt

In this video, i will show you how to use Process Explorer to identify windows or message boxes that appear without any obvious indicator of what program they're from.

What are the file types/extensions? Do you have a program that can open that type? Once the file type/extension is determined check in Settings, Apps, View tab and Choose defaults by file type. That's also known as file associations. In File Explorer and Options on the toolbar might have to Uncheck the item Hide extensions for known file types.

This could be from AutoPlay trying to auto open/run something from the USB that doesn't have a default app assigned to it.

As a test, turn off AutoPlay below to see if it stops.
