    AutoPlay doesn't show up anymore when I plug a USB device (drive, CD, phone, etc.) in. I went to Default Programs > Change AutoPlay Settings and restored all to default (Ask me), but it never asks me.

    hmm then try this registry method mate

    1.) Open Registry Editor (Type regedit in Start Search or Run Dialog Box and press ENTER)
    2.) Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\
    3.) Now look for NoDriveTypeAutoRun, a DWORD registry value and set its value as you desired to control autorun (autoplay) function for specific devices.

    You can disable multiple devices by adding their values, like if you wanna disable CD-ROMs and Removable devices only.

    Just add 4+32 = 36 (In Decimal) and 4+20=24 (In Hex) and set the resultant value.
