Windows 10: How do you bring back Windows Log in/Log off sounds

Hi everyone!

So I am looking for a way to bring back my Log in/Log off sounds for my Windows 10 PC.

I have loved this feature since I started using XP and want them back in 10.

Anyone found a way to do this?

Thanks, @

:)

 

Log on, log off & shutdown sounds

Thank you Sumit but i tried this before and it wasn't work

 

Log on, log off & shutdown sounds

Hello everyone, after i installed windows 10 1703 i saw there is no sound for log on, log off and shutdown. I had this problem in the fewer versions of windows 10 too and i know it's not a problem, but i like too have them enabled so i'll be happy if someone
know how to enable them.

 

ME TOO!!! My .wavs play in Control Panel/Sounds/Test after changing
ExcludeFromCPL to a 0, but NOT during Logon or Logoff as Win7 does...

 

Hi, you could schedule a task to play a sound-
- on log on
- On disconnect from a user session
= log off

 

Hhhmmm, that helped, but only half...

. my Logon .wav is back, and this is easier than \STARTUP
. but "Logoff" doesn't work, tho 'Workstation Lock' DOES(!) work.
There is a 'local disconnect from user session' which did NOT work,
but no actual 'at Logoff' choice?

Thankx.

 

On disconnect from user session - is the log off trigger. I've never used it personally, but that's what it is described as. I don't see a 'local.....' option.

Correct, there is no 'Log off' trigger as such.

There is a much more comprehensive list of possible triggers I once found in order to launch a task on resuming from hibernation (think about it...).

Explore 'On an event' and you will find two rather long drop-down lists if you go deep enough.

 

Regarding 'local', this is in the next panel (from remote or local
computer); I also selected 'specific user' (my LID).

I actually do 'on an Event' to trigger various programs at shutdown
via a .bat, which my programs create when it detects shutdown, which
now (for 1) additionally runs my BEEP.bat to play my Logoff .wav,
which works, so I copied this one to play the .wav via the same .bat
that the original .bat was calling (same defs otherwise); according to
my logs (ie: my BEEP.bat does an echo at start and end; in this case,
there were NO msgs) and per WTS History, it started, but failed
w/rc=3221225786/C000013A (w'run only...') or
2147942659/80070103(w/'run whether...'), and no sound was ever heard
from either.

I do see the long list in the System log, and saw WinLogon, but no
WinLogoff. Could this be in another of the 400+ logs? I looked at
Security, and see 4634 (which is already 4sec later than 1074 (below))
and 4647 (would need to somehow specify 'Account Name' for only my LID;
perhaps via customized XML?). I printed all the logs at the time of the
WTS History failure, +-15 seconds...
I see the WTS failure:
Event[9]:
Log Name: Microsoft-Windows-TaskScheduler/Operational
Source: Microsoft-Windows-TaskScheduler
Date: 2016-05-03T06:20:55.389
Event ID: 201
Task: Action completed
...
Task Scheduler successfully completed task "\SCHEDUL BEEPDOWN" ,
instance "{...}" ,
action "C:\Windows\SYSTEM32\cmd.exe" with return code 2147942659.

I tried setting the trigger to Basic/System/user32/1074 instead of
mine (this is usually the 1st event @PowerOff), but, now get
rc=2147943515/8007045B failure and STILL NO sound!

Very frustrating...I went back to my way for Logoff, which works
(for now).

 

Actually, of course, the problem is that you wish to generate a sound when services etc are closing down. Thus I suppose you'd need to delay the logoff process long enough for your sound.... *Confused

 

Hmph! I USED(!!!) to be able to do this in Win7 w/my program that
delayed this annoying now OPAQUE shut down screen from occuring!

Based on this, I tried my XML from my 1st one and chg'd it
from level 3 to 4(info) (my program does both) and just stop
the program (X the window); after apx 15 seconds, the .wav
plays completely! But going back to level 3 and doing the
PowerOff, it just doesn't work (maybe due to this 15s delay)??? YES!

In 1 shutdown, it actually started playing (almost when everything
was already down per the opaque shutdown screen), but then it was
abruptly cut off. So, I guess my method will have to do, since my
delay is apx 5 seconds after the opaque shutdown screen (and WHY
isn't this translucent a la Win7???). Oh well.

 

OK, I found the cause: CPUR @ 100% during a Level4 event:

cmd.exe 3520 4084 Process Start SUCCESS Parent PID: 360, Command line: C:\Windows\SYSTEM32\cmd.exe /c "Run_BEEP.BAT", Current directory: c:\DAD\SCHEDUL\BEEPDOWN\, Environment:

. When I temp-ignored my SHUTDOWN.bat via my program
(temp-added GOTO BAD), the .wav started almost instantly.

CPUR @ max means that it wasn't being dispatched;

THEREFORE...

changed WTS task PRI from 7 to 6...NOW WORKS, even w/my SHUTDOWN.bat
running. I'VE BEEN SCREWED OVER BY THIS EVEN IN Win7! I should have
known!

Put back Level3 and re-tested PowerOff; NOW IT WORKS w/about
a 3sec delay, but played the 17sec .wav completely.
So, now, I'll use this method as well for Logoff.

Thankx for your help.

 

Glad you could sort it out.. well done!
