Away this weekend but it seems I'm not alone.
I'll have a read through these (and any further posted) when I come back and see if I can find a sprog up to the task as me and PC's speak different languages.

Open Windows settings, search for Autoplay.
Set Autoplay like below. Windows will play sound when USB connected but will not take any action.

Recently, and without any input from me they started to go to Microsoft Photos. I couldn't figure out why so eventually I removed all Canon software from the PC and reinstalled it. This worked - for a short while. Images downloaded into DPP, but after a small no. of downloads it reverted to Microsoft photos.
This is also happening with my G16 when I use it on the RAW setting. And I don't know why.
I've said before, I'm a bit of a PC numpty but it almost seems as if the Microsoft Photos senses whats going and overides. Any clues before I download and reload again?

Did you download them from your camera, or from a chip? I can't imagine they'd go to Microsoft Photos if you used the chip.
John - I believe what has happened is that you accidentally changed the AutoPlay setting. When a device (flash drive, camera, etc.) is plugged in, Windows asks what you want to do. You can select "Nothing, Open Folder, Import Photos, etc." What you select changes the AutoPlay setting for this device. Therefore, Windows will know what you want to do the next time you plug in that device.
To change or review these setting go to"
Windows 11:
Settings -- Bluetooth & Devices - AutoPlay
There you will be given the choice of what to do when plugging in a device
Windows 10:
Control Panel -- Hardware & Sound -- AutoPlay
I hope this fixes your problem. You don't need a Mac!

Its hard to deal WITH MS also.
Two people suggested checking and fixing your "Windows Default Actions", first on page 1 and again on page 2 of this thread. What were the results of investigating and making these changes?
