Windows 10: Cannot turn on windows start sound

I can find nowhere how to turn on the start up sound for windows 10 version 1903. All the instructions here in the forum do not seem to apply to that version. For instance, the instructions say to use Personalize's sound but there is no sound in the personalize window. And the reg file to turn the start up sound has no effect.

What am I missing besides getting old and grouchy?

Thank you.

Good surround sound headset

I know you say you're not that guy, but stepping into the $250+ range really brings a change in build quality that might have you never having to buy another set. Otherwise, getting 6 speakers with decent sound in a headset is hard, and that's what you are asking for, and I have no suggestions, but just a bump up the list. *Stick Out Tongue
