Hi Rosie,
I'm very late to this thread, but this is how I get my
Windows 11 system to open a flashdrive / thumbdrive when I plug it
in.
1. Open the Control Panel by pressing enter on the
Control Panel icon on your desktop if you have an icon there.
If you don't have the icon press, Windows key + R, to
open the Run dialog and type,
control, and press enter
AutoPlay is the first item when you open the control
panel, but if you open the control panel and you land on the Search field this
is how you set the control panel so you can use first letter
navigation.
From the, Search field, tab one time to, Category button,
and press the spacebar to open. Now down arrow to either Large or Small
icon, and press enter.
Note: having either the Large or Small icon selected is
necessary to enable first letter navigation in the control panel.
2. Press enter on the, AutoPlay link, an there's a
checkbox for, Use AutoPlay for all media and devices, check this
checkbox.
3. Tab one time to, Removeable Drives combobox, and use
your, Alt + down arrow, keystroke to open this combobox. Down arrow to,
Open folder to view files File Explorer, and press, Alt + up Arrow , to close
the combobox.
4. Now tab many times to the, Save button, and press
enter to save your changes and close AutoPlay. Now, Alt + F4, to
close the control panel.
Stay safe and take care. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool.
