Then most likely, that would be your desktop environment in charge of
the automounting, then.  Which one do you use?  Gnome, KDE, Mate, etc.

I'm using Fedora 42 with Mate on my other PC, and still have CentOS on
this PC (also with Mate).  And with either of them, if I plug my old
laptop drive into USB enclosure, then plug that into my system.  It
does auto-mount the old Windows partition, and the other partitions are
listed in the file explorer as things I can click on and load up, but
they're not mounted until I do that.

I don't have the option to "browse media when inserted" selected (which
is more about opening a file lister window, than mounting), on either
of them.  And temporarily enabling that, didn't make any difference.

That drive has this on it:
1st partition Fedora /boot
2nd partition Ye olde Windows Vista
3rd partition Ext3 partition

And I recall when plugging in an install ISO dd'd to a USB flash drive
with multiple partitions, one gets auto-mounted, the rest are available
to look at, but not auto-mounted.
