Windows 10: I am getting chimes ringing every 15 minutes and the hour gonging every hour in Windows 11....

I am getting chimes ringing every 15 minutes and the hour gonging every hour in Windows 11. It even happens if the speakers are being used. How do I stop this?

:)

 

Single Chime sound every hour

My new 6650 makes a single chime sound between 22-25 minutes past the hour. What does this mean? I have no alarms set.

Thanks

How do I get Windows 10 to chime / beep on the hour?

Well all I can do is tell you what worked for me in trying to find out how to disable the chime alarm that played every hour on the hour. It drove me nuts quite frankly but if that is what you are looking to have, you can find it in W10 under the Gadgets called "Date Time." It is a small, thin bar that is displayed on the desktop which shows the date & time. The options function gives you the choice of having an alarm sound every hour. You can do this by clicking on the config tab, then checking the box that says "Hourly Notify -- enable?" By enabling this the computer will chime every hour on the hour. Hope that helps. This is the easiest way to be reminded that each hour has arrived. Enjoy!!

 

How do I get Windows 10 to chime / beep on the hour?

I'd like the computer to beep on the hour without having to install an entire third party software just for this.

I tried using Task Scheduler for this, following the steps outlined here, but when I set the task to run a program so I can play a chime, like this...

...It doesn't work (nothing happens), even though it works on the Run dialog. When I explicitly click "Run now" (it's first set to run on a scheduled time), also nothing happens. And when I set it to display a message or send an email instead, it displays an error which apparently means the feature's been deprecated (and the method on that website didn't work either).

So, is there any way to achieve this natively on Windows 10? When I used a Mac, a few years ago, all you had to do was check an option telling the system clock to chime on the hour. I don't get why this VERY SIMPLE AND USEFUL THING needs to be this difficult.
