SamLogic USB AutoRun Creator - Some Details

  
We sometimes gets the question:
 
Can AutoRun for USB sticks work in a computer without installation of USB AutoRun Creator or the driver program that follows USB AutoRun Creator?
 
The answer to this question is: no, it is not possible due to security reasons. The first time a driver program or the USB AutoRun Creator editor must be installed in the system. By installing either of these, the user also is aware of that he/she enables AutoRun for USB sticks (from specific sources).

Microsoft has disabled AutoRun for USB sticks completely in Windows 7, 8 and 10, and in Windows XP and Windows Vista the AutoRun is disabled if some specific security updates are installed. You can read the articles below for more information:
