    Change default app for CDs from Windows Media Player to iTunes?


    In previous versions of Windows, it was easy to associate a file type with a different program from its default, but in Windows 10 I don't seem to be able to figure out how to get my CDs to open automatically in iTunes when I insert them in the drive. They keep opening in Windows Media Player, but I want to them to open in iTunes so the songs I choose will sync with my iPhone Music.

    I have iTunes set as my default player--at least it appears that way under Default Apps--but it's not working in this instance. Normally, I would have simply gone to a list of file types and associated .wmv with iTunes, but I can't find out how to do that in Win10 no matter where I look.

    Hi, you need to change the Autoplay settings.

    Now I still use build 1709. I note there's now no link to the old control panel Autoplay settings from Settings, nor any way to change CD /DVD options in Settings, so I've no idea what MS has been up to in build 1803. You'll just have to see if it's still there or do-able somehow.
