Can I enable “Import pictures and videos” in Windows 10 AutoPlay?
In Windows 7, when you plugged in an external camera, then you could select an AutoPlay setting entitled "Import pictures and videos":
which launched a rather simple (but effective) tool to import, rotate and (optionally) delete your photos:
In Windows 10, Microsoft decided not to make the "Import pictures and videos" option available in AutoPlay and, instead, offer the built in Windows 10 "photos" app.
However you can right-click on a portable device from Windows Explorer and select "Import pictures and videos" that way.
My question is: Is there any way to make the "Import photos and videos" wizard appear as an option in the Windows 10 AutoPlay settings? I'm lazy and don't want to keep having to do it from the Windows Explorer.

Perhaps it depends upon the device you are connecting to Windows 10? As an example, the following is a screenshot of the same Windows 10 interface you referenced above, taken from within my wife's profile. As you can see, she has her iPhone set to utilize AutoPlay with the option to Import photos and videos (Photos) enabled:
Additionally, you can navigate to the AutoPlay applet in the Control Panel and configure it there, along with audio and video disc options that aren't available within the Settings -> Devices -> AutoPlay interface:
