    I completed all of the options to uninstall and re-install WMP. On all tries WMP still autoplays. I have given up on WMP and uninstalled it entirely. I have downloaded an outside market player that is working well. The WMP stopping autoplay issue was not resolved.

    I went to Auto-Ply on the Control Panel. All were set to "Choose a default". I changed all to "Take No Action". The "Use Autoplay for all media and devices was not checked. I inserted a music CD and it immediately started playing. Still no stopping autoplay.

    Hi,

    Have you tried disabling autoplay from the Control Panel settings? In the search bar, type Control Panel and select it from the results. View by "Large icons" and click Autoplay. Uncheck the option "Use AutoPlay for all media and devices" and click Save.
