Title

Windows Server 2025 AutoPlay must be disabled for all drives.

Control

If the following registry value does not exist or is not configured as specified, this is a finding: Registry Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE Registry Path\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Explorer\ Value Name: NoDriveTypeAutoRun Type: REG_DWORD Value: 0x000000ff (255)

Discussion

Allowing AutoPlay to execute may introduce malicious code to a system. AutoPlay begins reading from a drive as soon media is inserted into the drive. As a result, the setup file of programs or music on audio media may start. By default, AutoPlay is disabled on removable drives, such as the floppy disk drive (but not the CD-ROM drive) and on network drives. Enabling this policy disables AutoPlay on all drives.
