Any idea why it pops up? If I need only click cancel (and that definitely eliminate the thingy), that implies that the Autoplay popping up is possibly a bug? If not, what am I losing when I click cancel....anyone know?

It is benign, Doc.

Autoplay is a "feature" of the Windows Operating System.

They've already told you how to turn it off, and anyone working with large audio files as we do should turn it OFF.

Not only is it annoying to have it pop up like that anytime you attach any storage that has certain types of media files on it, but it can cause interrupts in your streaming audio at the worst times, like when you are trying to record. This is one of the few "DAW Tweaks" that I still recommend doing, BTW. Windows has come a long way for us DAW users since the days when we even had to disable the Taskbar Clock in order to record audio without interruptions...
