MP3 players forum: Found New Hardware (MTP Device) wont quit popin up!

So mine has been blinking at my all morning and making this really obnoxious bleeping noise.

Go to Control Panel > Taskbar & Start Menu.

Then on the Taskbar menu hit "Customize" That will show you the current items in your taskbar. You should have one that says "<no title>" - that is the MTP Device. Click on the "Hide when inactive" and change it to "Always hide".

This should have no affect on you being able to put music on your device. Hope this helps, and good luck with everything!

mine hasn't come back, and i've restarted my computer numerous times. sorry. i'm not sure where to lead you from here.

go to your computer management, click on Device Manager, scroll down to MTP and uninstall it.

Thanks for a showing the way, in my case uninstalling didn't worked, but when i disabled it, it worked.....

At work, plug in my phone to charge it, and it would flash and "pop" New Hardware found MTP device.....UGH! I thought I did everything but no luck till I read this. It was a little difficult due to the screen flashing (finding new hardware) but I clicked on it at right time and first disabled it to no result so i uninstalled it. Now phone charging fine now no flashing. THANK YOU!

Same problem and that worked...thanks, it was driving me nuts!

You just saved My life.......(Well actually,My Laptops Life)
Had that exact problem all today.Just found this Thread and Presto
my PC is not so F**kin Annoying anymore.

Have a irritating and noisy pop-up saying Found New Hardware MTP device. I followed instructions on posting as far as 'customize'. But my customize button is inactive. How can I change this?

The control panel suggestion stopped the pop-up. However, I still am getting the message from my firewall control: "The application wudfhost.exe is the parent of a process that is communicating. Do you want this process to be an 'allowed parent.'" I have Webroot Internet security and it does NOT make a difference if I say allow or block. Every few minutes I get the same firewall pop-up. Please help.

So simple yet so valuable.

Thanks! It worked! But ONLY on my very old HP 5340 ME to XP puter.

Can't stop it on my Vista or 7 Professional puters. Can you tell me how to get it off of those.

If you can't reply soon, you might try reaching me in a padded cell someplace to advise me. OH! Hmmm..... they probably won't let me have my puters in there.

Thanks!

Thanks I'll try it, DAMN ANNOYING THANKS

Spot on, friend. Thanks!

go to device manager. You will find MTP with a yellow mark on it. Right click properties and uninstall. That should fix the problem. I had the same and this took care of it.

Yes, the "always hide" takes away the sound, but it does not take away the CPU usage...it is slowing down my system dramatically...

How to get to the Device Manager?
