Trying To Stop My Images from Uploading directly to LR

[rollsman44]

When I insert my SD card into my card reader the images are automatically uploaded to LR. I prefer not to do this so How can I change this ? Thanks
I have a PC and Latest Version of LR. Thank you

Can be one of two reasons this happens.

(1) Lightroom has been set to automatically begin uploading when a card is inserted into your card reader.
To disable this: Lightroom preferences > General and disable the option "Show import dialog when a memory card is detected" > Click OK and restart Lightroom.

(2) If that does not work it might be set in an Operating System setting. Windows (and OS X) have Auto Play settings to Do Something when something else happens. Check your default settings to see if Lightroom was selected in the Device/Auto Play area as the default action when SD card is inserted.

Hi Dennis,

I have never experienced the problem you are describing, sorry.

How do I get Adobe PS to stop opening automatically when I log into my computer?

Everytime I log in to my computer Adobe CC/Photoshop specifically automatically opens Photoshop. I HATE THIS! It eats up tons of ram and causes me to wait for minutes before I can use my computer for the reason I signed in. I don't have a constant need for Photoshop so I want to open it when I...

Try this...
Edit>Preferences>General Tab and deselect the option to "Show import dialog when a memory card is detected".

If using LR CC, I'm not sure you can turn this feature off as it uploads to the cloud. Use LR classic instead.
