How to disable the automatic execution of pendrives in Windows 10

<>

Internet ha sido un gran peligro para muchos sistemas operativos gracias a la cantidad de vulnerabilidades que crea la navegación Web. Pero es cierto que los medios extraíbles como disquetes, CD o pendrives han sido la segunda vía de infección más común en las computadoras.

Little by little the Internet becomes more secure and there are many tools to make it more secure. In the case of pendrives, users have antivirus programs that cure infected files or put them in quarantine so that they do not run, but What to do when the pendrive has automatic execution?

The autorun is an executable file that enables you to start any document on the pendrives., a file that can make anything run whether we like it or not, good for Windows or not. This is why even Microsoft released an update that prevented autorun files from removable drives from running, but in Windows 10 they are back.

Disabling the automatic execution on the pendrives will make our Windows 10 more secure

Microsoft has rectified and tried to be wiser, allowing users the option to select whether or not they want to run these files. But on many computers, this is enabled by default. In order to disable the execution of autorun files we have to do the following:

First we must go to the Control Panel. In this window we must go to Devices and the following window will appear:

(*10*)

In it we have to make sure that Automatic Play is disabled since if it is activated, the autorun files will be executed automatically. In the lower alternatives we can always assign the same drive letter to these drives, something interesting if we yearn to create rules or tasks associated with the antivirus, such as scanning drive X when connecting. Once we have made the relevant adjustments, we just have to press the accept button and that's it. As you can see, this trick is quite simple, but if not done, it can be quite dangerous and annoying. Don't you think?
