    Can i FORCE or mod windows 10 to play all misc sounds? e.g lock/unlock

    i want to make windows 10 able to play all of its sounds like back in the day, including login and log off sounds, lock and unlock sounds, shutdown sounds and constant startup sound without disabling fastboot. and yes i have did all those registry hacks to show hidden sounds again but they dont work anymore in these newer builds.

    Logoff, Logon, shutdown, restart, startup sounds not playing


    I'm running Threshold 2 of Win10. It seems the Startup Sound is working again. Previously, even checked it would only play intermittently on a warm boot, not a cold one. Now it seems to work all the time. There is a 3rd party app that lets you change the Startup Sound to whatever you want, without you having to go through the hack steps.

    The Exit Windows sound is another matter. Even enabled via the Registry and reappearing in the Sound list, selecting a sound for that does not make it play at shutdown.

    How to Play a Sound at Shutdown in Windows 10

    Actually I think you're lucky to consistently get a shutdown sound at all. I seem to recall the issue is that Windows shuts down too fast for it to be played.

    Assuming you mean this:
    Play Sound at Shutdown in Windows 10
    when you refer to
    that does make provision for you to select your own sound file.

    Also worth skimming through the comments following by people who've tried it.
