Autoplay Repair Wizard

Autoplay Repair Wizard is a small-sized and portable application that identifies autoplay issues and attempt to repair them. It can be easily used, even by people with limited experience in software apps.

As installation is not a prerequisite, you can drop the executable file anywhere on the disk, and run it directly.

Autoplay Repair Wizard may also be saved to a USB flash disk or similar removable device, in order to run it on any computer with minimum effort.

What's more, the Windows Registry area does not receive entry updates, and files are not left behind on the hard disk after program removal.

The interface of the tool is based on a simple wizard, as the name suggests, where Autoplay Repair Wizard gets started by verifying that the shell hardware detection service is set to automatically start, and that it's running at the moment. Otherwise, it makes the necessary adjustments.

You can choose a drive to scan for autoplay setting problems, after which the app automatically checks policies for the current user, local computer and at driver level.

In the following step, the utility performs a test that requires you to recreate the events which initially lead to the autoplay issues, such as ejecting and re-inserting a CD. If any problems are detected by Autoplay Repair Wizard, the application attempts to repair them.

We have noticed a minimal CPU and RAM consumption during the tool's runtime. It has a good response time and may take a while to complete a test. On the downside, Autoplay Repair Wizard has not been updated for a pretty long time, and it is not supported by newer OS platforms.
