Using Open= in an autorun file does not open anything

Note: This is in a registered copy of Windows 10 running 21H2 (Build 19044.1645)

I made sure that everything else is fine by using icon=icon.ico and that runs fine, same with label= but for whatever reason open= does not seem to work.

my autorun.inf looks like the:

[autorun]
Open=test.exe
Label=This is a USB
Icon=test.exe

and test.exe is compiled from a python script using auto-py-to-exe and looks like this:

import turtle as tl

for n in range(360):
  fd(2)
  rt(2)

input()

with the input() call meant to make the turtle window not close immediately

What have I done wrong, and how do I fix it?

Clarification I have a USB drive that I want to run an exe file as soon as it is plugged in. This exe file is currently just a simple debugging program, but will later be used to organize drives. I read that an autorun.inf file would be the best way to do this, and so I tried what the article said. But to no avail. What do I need to do to the code or drive to make it run?
