    How to disable the alarm sound in the default Windows 10 timer app

    This question is about the Windows 10 default Alarm & Clock app. I'm currently trying to set up a timer so that (for example) after 10 minutes, I get a notification saying something like "time's up".

    Unfortunately, while I get a notification, the app accompanies the notification with an obnoxious beeping alarm sound. In addition, the volume of the music I am playing through Firefox decreases when this alarm plays, and increases afterwards. I would like to turn off the sound. Here's what I've tried:

    1. I've tried turning off the sound for that specific app (I'm playing music, so I can't turn the sound off completely), using the app titled "volume mixer". Unfortunately, there is no dedicated volume control for the alarm app. I've tried turning down the "system sounds" volume control, and this has no effect.
    2. I've tried changing the settings of the app, but as far as I can tell the app has no settings page, and no way to turn off the volume for the timer. (There is a way to turn off the sound for the alarm clock).

    If there is no specific "Alarm & Clock" fix, I would be open to using a different app, as long as it wouldn't require me to install something like "Java Run-time Environment", which I don't want to do (security risks).

    Display does not turn off when pc is idle

    Just did all the suggestions. Did not work. Display does not turn off.

    This issue was from the beginning when I downloaded Win 10. I had Win 8.1 and the display always turned off as I set it.

    My pc is HP Pavilion Touchsmart 23 all-in-one. According to "checking for updated drivers on display and monitors", I always get the response that the drivers currently installed are the correct ones.
