Settings -> Bluetooth & Devices -> AutoPlay -> Use AutoPlay for all media and devices
Was set to on, and "Removable drive" was set to "Choose a default", which appears to be equivalent to "Ask me every time".
I don't have anything (that I'm aware of) that auto-runs something, but I presume it will prompt me asking if I want to run setup.exe, which seems somewhat reasonable for new hardware.
And from the malware analysis, https://www.hybrid-analysis.com/sample/e3f57d5ebc882a0a0ca96... , it's signed by "Owner: CN=Microsoft Windows Hardware Compatibility Publisher, O=Microsoft Corporation, L=Redmond, ST=Washington, C=US; Issuer: CN=Microsoft Windows Third Party Component CA 2012, O=Microsoft Corporation, L=Redmond, ST=Washington, C=US" which also looks pretty legit.
I can totally see a lot of folks allowing it to run.
> An autorun.inf file is a text file that can be used by the Autorun and AutoPlay components of Microsoft Windows. When a USB drive is plugged into a USB port, an autorun USB dialog appears that prompts you to do certain operations: print images, run Windows Media Players, or open a folder. But what if you have a particular application on the USB drive and want it to be launched from the autorun USB dialog? You can put autorun.inf into the root of the USB drive and edit its commands to get the app started when the USB key is plugged.

No. Microsoft just said it will disable it. On some systems, i've seen it disabled (i don't know if by default or by AD policy) but, on the majority of Windows 10, it was not disabled.
