Everytime I plug my iphone in my pc windows 10 launches the photo app and I can't seem to find the setting to turn it off, anyone figured this out yet?

thanks!

Hi,
the only place i could think of there being a setting for this is perhaps the 'Autoplay' section. See if my screenshots help any. I've arrowed where the phones settings may be:

Click 'Change default settings for media devices':

thanks for the reply but I found a way to simply uninstall the app through a command so that worked

What was the command you used to uninstall? I have a friend who might be having this same issue -- thanks!
