Autoplay for movie DVDs in Windows 10 is not displaying programs

Question

I have a Lenovo Ideapad 110 with Windows 10 Home. Whenever I load a movie DVD, the autoplay dialog box comes up showing two options: "Find a new DVD app" (Microsoft Store) or "Take no action".

I have installed on my computer VLC and Windows Media player and tried many of the apps from the Microsoft Store, but none of them show up in dialog box when I insert a DVD. I am able to play the movie manually from VLC but I can't get it done automatically. Also, the autoplay works properly with other sources such us music CDs and USBs.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AutoplayHandlers\EventHandlers\PlayDVDMovieOnArrival]
"FindAppPlayDVDMovieOnArrival"=""
"VLCPlayDVDMovieOnArrival"=""

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AutoplayHandlers\EventHandlers\PlayDVDAudioOnArrival]
"VLCPlayDVDAudioOnArrival"=""

1. Open Notepad, copy the above contents and paste it.

2. Save the file with .REG extension, say autoplaydvd.reg.

3. Double-click the REG file to apply the settings to the registry.

VLC Player entry should now show up in DVD autoplay dialog.
