Q:

how to print the \sectionautorefname with autoref, but without hyper-linking the \sectionautorefname?

EDIT: @Faekynn and @Mico you are right that the starred version disable the hyperlinkification, but is it possible to disable it only for the \sectionautorefname, but still keep it for the section number ?
==============================
how to have  the feature of autoref, that is to say printing the sectionautorefname+ section number but without a hyper-link for the sectionautorefname.
It must work for the other sectionning units.

A:

If the hyperref package is loaded, use the "starred" versions of various cross-referencing macros -- \autoref*, \ref*, etc. -- if you don't want to create hyperlinks.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[colorlinks]{hyperref}
\begin{document}
\section{First}  \label{sec:first}
\subsection{abc} \label{subsec:abc}
\subsection{xyz} \label{subsec:xyz}

As argued in \autoref{subsec:abc}, \dots  % hyperlink is created

\medskip\noindent
As argued in \autoref*{subsec:xyz}, \dots % hyperlink is not created
\end{document}
