1423851 2016-07-30 04:25:00 Using Win7, when I put my card reader into the USB port it used to bring up a window which asked what action to take, in Win10 this doesn't happen.

Is there any way to restore this or get something similar to what I had previously. This Win10 is sure keeping me busy trying to restore things.!!

1423852 2016-07-30 05:03:00 Here's the easy option:

Go to Start > Settings > Devices (or use the keyboard short Windows key + I and choose Devices).
Click AutoPlay in the pane on the left.
Choose the default action when a removable drive is plugged in.
Choose the default action when a memory card is plugged in.

1423853 2016-07-30 05:30:00 Are you sure you are giving it enough time to load the driver?

Usually with Win 7 it pops up at the bottom saying it's loading the driver ,With Windows 10 the only way of knowing is clicking the up arrow on the Right bottom

1423854 2016-07-30 05:35:00 Thanks Driftwood. I knew it would be there somewhere. Not as good an option as the window I used to get in Win7 but it will suffice. Pato (2463)

memory when I put the card reader in it brought up a window with several choices, i.e. Do you want to view the pictures in Picasa or something similar. Scan disk.? or the like. I guess it is just a matter

of realizing that Win10 is different. So far I am having trouble with two important programmes and I am cursing Win10 at times. But I have burnt my bridges and ejected Win7.

1423856 2016-07-30 06:20:00 With W10 it will remember the last option. If you go into the Auto play as Driftwood posted and change them to ask every time, See below: You'll Be asked each time

7330 7331

There will be a bar fly out asking as well normally bottom Right, but you have to be quick, cant have a snooze while mucking around doing something else or you'll miss it.
BUT once you select one option that's the one it Will do next time.
