I accidentally turned off the 'What device did you plug in' prompt Help Whenever I plug in a microphone, headphones, or earbuds, a popup asks me to select which thing I've plugged in. Connect the device and UNCHECK the box 'Open iTunes when this iphone is connected' and click Apply. Now restart iTunes and this time CHECK the box again and click apply. This time, it may ask you to install iTuneshelper. Restart computer, and connect your device to see whether it will automatically launch iTunes.
Disable Audio Jack Detection in Windows 10. Whenever you plug an audio device like headphones in your PC, Windows 10 detects the device and starts sending audio to it. But sometimes this automatic audio jack detection might stop working and in that case, even if you have your headphones plugged in, Windows 10 will not detect that. Device manager - Scan for hardware changes won't work. Tried uninstalling all USB devices and tried reinstalling them, however the problem persists. Same is the issue with headphones. (3.5MM jack) Changed the Plug n Play service to automatic ( from Manual) in services.msc and did multiple restarts. But the problem is not resolved. Disable Audio Jack Detection in Windows 10.

Always On VPN has many benefits over the Windows VPN solutions of the past. The following key improvements align Always On VPN with Microsoft's cloud-first, mobile-first vision:
Platform Integration: Always On VPN has improved integration with the Windows operating system and third-party solutions to provide a robust platform for countless advanced connection scenarios.
Security: Always On VPN has new, advanced security capabilities to restrict the type of traffic, which applications can use the VPN connection, and which authentication methods you can use to initiate the connection. When the connection is active most of the time, it is especially important to secure the connection. For more details, see VPN authentication options.
VPN Connectivity: Always On VPN, with or without Device Tunnel provides auto-trigger capability. Before Always On VPN, the ability to trigger an automatic connection through either user or device authentication was not possible.
Networking control: Always On VPN allows administrators to specify routing policies at a more granular level—even down to the individual application—which is perfect for line-of-business (LOB) apps that require special remote access. Always On VPN is also fully compatible with both Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) and version 6 (IPv6). Unlike DirectAccess, there is no specific dependency on IPv6.
Note
Before you get started, make sure to enable IPv6 on the VPN server. Otherwise, a connection cannot be established and an error message displays.
Configuration and compatibility: Always On VPN can be deployed and managed several ways, which gives Always On VPN several advantages over the other VPN client software.
Platform integration
Microsoft has introduced or improved the following integration capabilities in Always On VPN:
| Key improvement | Description | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Windows Information Protection (WIP) | Integration with WIP allows network policy enforcement to determine whether traffic is permitted to go over the VPN. If the user profile is active and WIP policies are applied, Always On VPN is automatically triggered to connect. Also, when you use WIP, there's no need to specify AppTriggerList and TrafficFilterList rules separately in the VPN profile (unless you want more advanced configuration) because the WIP policies and application lists automatically take effect. | ||
| Windows Hello for Business | Always On VPN natively supports Windows Hello for Business (in certificate-based authentication mode) to provide a seamless single sign-on experience for both sign-in to the machine and connection to the VPN. Therefore, no secondary authentication (user credentials) is needed for the VPN connection, making it possible to use an Always On connection with Windows Hello for Business authentication. | ||
| Microsoft Azure conditional access | The Always On VPN client can integrate with the Azure conditional access platform to enforce multifactor authentication (MFA), device compliance, or a combination of the two. When compliant with conditional access policies, Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) issues a short-lived (by default, 60 minutes) IP Security (IPsec) authentication certificate that can then be used to authenticate to the VPN gateway. Device compliance uses Configuration Manager/Intune compliance policies, which can include the device health attestation state as part of the connection compliance check. | ||
| Azure MFA | When combined with Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) services and the Network Policy Server (NPS) extension for Azure MFA, VPN authentication can use strong MFA. | Third-party VPN plug-in | With the Universal Windows Platform (UWP), third-party VPN providers can create a single application for the full range of Windows 10 devices. The UWP provides a guaranteed core API layer across devices, eliminating the complexity of and problems often associated with writing kernel-level drivers. Currently, Windows 10 UWP VPN plug-ins exist for Pulse Secure, F5 Access, Check Point Capsule VPN, FortiClient, SonicWall Mobile Connect, and GlobalProtect; no doubt, others will appear in the future. |
Security
The primary improvements in security are in the following areas:
| Key improvement | Description | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Traffic filters | Through traffic filters, you can specify client-side policies that determine which traffic is allowed into the corporate network. In this way, administrators can apply app or traffic restrictions on the VPN interface, limiting its use to specific sources, destination ports, and IP addresses. Two types of filtering rules are available:
| Per-App VPN | Per-App VPN is like having an app-based traffic filter, but it goes farther to combine application triggers with an app-based traffic filter so that VPN connectivity is constrained to a specific application as opposed to all applications on the VPN client. The feature automatically initiates when the app starts. |
| Support for customized IPsec cryptography algorithms | Always On VPN supports the use of both RSA and elliptic curve cryptography–based custom cryptographic algorithms to meet stringent government or organizational security policies. | ||
| Native Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) support | Always On VPN natively supports EAP, which allows you to use a diverse set of Microsoft and third-party EAP types as part of the authentication workflow. EAP provides secure authentication based on the following authentication types:
|
VPN connectivity
The following are the primary improvements in Always On VPN connectivity:
| Key improvement | Description |
|---|---|
| Always On | Always On is a Windows 10 feature that enables the active VPN profile to connect automatically and remain connected based on triggers—namely, user sign-in, network state change, or device screen active. Always On is also integrated into the connected standby experience to maximize battery life. |
| Application triggering | You can configure VPN profiles in Windows 10 to connect automatically on the launch of a specified set of applications. You can configure both desktop and UWP applications to trigger a VPN connection. |
| Name-based triggering | With Always On VPN, you can define rules so that specific domain name queries trigger the VPN connection. Windows 10 now supports name-based triggering for domain-joined and nondomain-joined machines (previously, only nondomain-joined machines were supported). |
| Trusted network detection | Always On VPN includes this feature to ensure that VPN connectivity is not triggered if a user is connected to a trusted network within the corporate boundary. You can combine this feature with any of the triggering methods mentioned earlier to provide a seamless 'only connect when needed' user experience. |
| Device Tunnel | Always On VPN gives you the ability to create a dedicated VPN profile for device or machine. Unlike User Tunnel, which only connects after a user logs on to the device or machine, Device Tunnel allows the VPN to establish connectivity before user sign-in. Both Device Tunnel and User Tunnel operate independently with their VPN profiles, can be connected at the same time, and can use different authentication methods and other VPN configuration settings as appropriate. |
Networking
Which Device Did You Plug In Keeps Popping Up Windows 10
The following are some of the networking improvements in Always On VPN:
| Key improvement | Description |
|---|---|
| Dual-stack support for IPv4 and IPv6 | Always On VPN natively supports the use of both IPv4 and IPv6 in a dual-stack approach. It has no specific dependency on one protocol over the other, which allows for maximum IPv4/IPv6 application compatibility combined with support for future IPv6 networking needs. Note: Before you get started, make sure to enable IPv6 on the VPN server. Otherwise, a connection cannot be established and an error message displays. |
| Application-specific routing policies | In addition to defining global VPN connection routing policies for internet and intranet traffic separation, it is possible to add routing policies to control the use of split tunnel or force tunnel configurations on a per-application basis. This option gives you more granular control over which apps are allowed to interact with which resources through the VPN tunnel. |
| Exclusion routes | Always On VPN supports the ability to specify exclusion routes that specifically control routing behavior to define which traffic should traverse the VPN only and not go over the physical network interface. Notes: |
Configuration and compatibility
The following are some of the configuration and compatibility improvements in Always On VPN:
| Key improvement | Description |
|---|---|
| Third-party VPN gateway compatibility | The Always On VPN client does not require the use of a Microsoft-based VPN gateway to operate. Through the support of the IKEv2 protocol, the client facilitates interoperability with third-party VPN gateways that support this industry-standard tunneling type. You can also achieve interoperability with third-party VPN gateways by using a UWP VPN plug-in combined with a custom tunneling type without sacrificing Always On VPN platform features and benefits. Note: |
| Industry-standard IKEv2 VPN protocol support | The Always On VPN client supports IKEv2, one of today's most widely used industry-standard tunneling protocols. This compatibility maximizes interoperability with third-party VPN gateways. |
| Platform support | Always On VPN supports domain-joined, nondomain-joined (workgroup), or Azure AD–joined devices to allow for both enterprises and bring your own device (BYOD) scenarios. Also, Always On VPN is available in all Windows editions. |
| Diverse management and deployment mechanisms | You can use many management and deployment mechanisms to manage VPN settings (called a VPN profile), including Windows PowerShell, Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager, Intune or third-party mobile device management (MDM) tool, and Windows Configuration Designer. These options simplify the configuration of Always On VPN regardless of the client management tools you use. |
| Standardized VPN profile definition | Always On VPN supports configuration using a standard XML profile (ProfileXML), providing a standard configuration template format that most management and deployment toolsets use. |
