Windows 10: How do i stop windows 10 from turning on my sound effects?

I absolutely HATE these annoying sound effects that windows make when anything happens. I have turned them off many many times but it only lasts for a while. A few weeks later windows have automatically forced those annoying sound effects on me again. How do I stop this madness? How can I make sure the sounds are off for good?

No Sound!!

I am having issues with sound on my mom's Acer desktop PC. I have troubleshooted the sound, and did as it suggested to do by turning off the sound effects. It's an Acer Aspire XC-603G that is listed in my specs. Where can I find an updated driver for it for this computer? It uses Realtek High Definition Audio.

Windows 10 has a built-in troubleshooter to check and fix issues with Sound. I would suggest you to run this troubleshooter to check if the issue is with your Audio.

Refer these steps:

• Press Windows key +X, select Control panel.
• Change the view by option on the top right to Large icons.
• Click on troubleshooting and click on the view all option on the left panel.

Method 2: Sound problems can be caused by cables that aren't connected properly, damaged drivers, incompatible drivers, sound settings, missing updates, and problems with your
sound card.

• Press “Windows Logo” + “X” keys on the keyboard.

  from the computer.

• After the restart, please go ahead with the next steps to install the latest drivers and check if that resolves the issue.
