The autoplay window has stopped showing when connecting my digital camera

Question

Recently, when I connect my digital camera, the camera screen shows that it is connected to the computer, but nothing else happens. I have been downloading pictures previously with no problem.

How can I re-enable autoplay?

1. Connect the camera, then go to Control Panel and click on AutoPlay (if you don't find it use the search box).

2. Scroll down till you see your camera listed under the Devices section.
