Windows 10: After Signing in & Working on Documents For A While, at Random, Windows 10 Plays A Short...

After Signing in & Working on Documents For A While, at Random, Windows 10 Plays A Short Jingle Alarm in the background - Where is this alarm coming from? I checked Windows 10 clock/alarm app & nothing is set there. How do I disable this jingle? The alarm is best described as a pleasant sounding short jingle or melody that plays & then stops with no interaction from me. There is no accompanying pop-up error message with it.


It usually happens once in a day & at random through the week. It's not constant or ongoing. Please do not venture down troubleshooting lane & assume that my Windows User Profile is corrupted. Don't waste your time, you will be ignored.


I had just set up Windows 10 a very short while ago & I'm running Malwarebytes & Norton Internet Security for security since I set up Windows 10. Ok community, tell me what you know. Thanks.

Random BSOD while browsing internet


BitDefender is nothing special. mwac.sys causes BSODs anywhere.
A tiny documentation can be found here: Solved Random BSODs - Windows 10 Forums
In that very thread, the suggested action apparently worked.

The storage and network filters of any third party antivirus can cause BSODs. Neither MBAM nor BitDefender is any special. For a regular antivirus, it may be shifted to an alternative; but MBAM has no alternative. So a clean install of the said program is the most feasible first step.
As far as the first step is not failing, it is better to not think for the second step. Because the BSODs are not universal, failure at the first step is not universal; and success at the second step is also not universal.
That is why I posted that my suggestion may work, or may not. Let us see where it goes.

 

Metro 2033 fails to work on windows 10!

I don't recall you mentioning any trouble shooting steps attempted though. At the very least, doing a quick search and checking threads like this very well may have solved it for you. It's listed as compatible on MS' list of games that work with W10 for a reason, because many if not most are able to get it running on W10. At least some level of workaround may be required, but some got it running without doing anything.

Windows 10 Tweaks

As you may already know, Windows 10 (as well as Windows 8) allow you to log in with a valid Microsoft account, instead of creating a local account that only works on your machine. However, you may prefer to keep a local account for privacy reasons. If you do, though, some Windows 10 features—like Cortana—may not work. Despite the default behavior, the Windows 10 Store is not one of them. You can still log in to your Microsoft account for just the Store without switching to a full Microsoft account. The process, however, is not terribly obvious. To do so, follow these steps:

• Launch the Store from your Start menu.
• Click the user icon next to the search box.
• Click “Sign-in” from the menu that appears.
• Choose “Microsoft account” and log in like normal.
• When the “Make it yours” box appears do not enter your password. Instead, click “Sign in to just this app instead.”
