I just checked a freshly installed Windows 11 and the autoplay is off by default.
Were you trying to get upvotes just for the fun of it??
First of all I believe you are incorrect.
You're doing a single anecdotal "test" from (I assume) one copy of the installation media. News flash, not all installation images of Windows 11 are the same.
And I will answer your anecdotal evidence with some anecdotal evidence of my own: almost every friend and coworker I've asked about this says Autoplay is on. And when I check Google or ChatGPT, they confirm that a fresh install of Windows 11 will have it on by default. So....I guess everyone else is wrong about this but you're right about every installation of Windows 11.
Secondly, your question ignores the fact that people should probably check to see if it's on. It can get turned on accidentally or even by an update. Microsoft is constantly messing arbitrarily with user preferences and settings with their weekly updates. You do know that, right?
Finally, you posted some version of this same reply multiple times in this thread. Why? Are you just doing that to "get upvotes for fun"?
BTW, there's no karma on lemmy....upvotes don't matter.
It's fine to correct someone, but first do a better job of checking your methodology, and second, don't assume their motivations for trying to share helpful info.

That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
