Is there a way to customize my start up sound?

Hi Gerard,

Welcome to Microsoft Community. Your interest in Windows 10 is much appreciated.

I understand that you wanted to Customize the Windows start up sound.
Don't worry, I'll be happy to assist you with this.

Windows has always allowed to you to customize different alert sounds from the Control Panel, but it remove your ability to customize a few of them in Windows 10 particularly the sounds for logon, logoff, and shutdown. Here's
how to change them.

When you go to Control Panel > Sound > Sounds, you'll see these options are no longer available for customization. Well, it turns out, they're just hidden, and you can unhide them with a simple registry tweak. To do so:

• Press Win+R to bring up the Run menu. Type in
  regedit and press OK to bring up the Registry Editor.
• Head to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\EventLabels and you should see a number of subfolders, each one representing a different sound in the
  OS. If you click on one—say, WindowsLogon—you'll see a key in the right pane called
  ExcludeFromCPL. Double-click it and change its value to 0.
• Repeat this process for WindowsLogoff and
  SystemExit.
• Exit the Registry Editor and head back to
  Control Panel > Sound > Sounds. You should see those options have returned to the menu, and you can customize them as normal.

Note :

To do so: Important this section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these
steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following article number to view the article
in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: 322756 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322756/ )

Is there a way to customize my start up sound?

This is for a windows 10 computer. When I go into sounds for windows, it doesn't show the log in or startup sound in the list box. Only a check box to turn it off or on. I would like to change the sound it makes to something else or maybe a song to come
on during start up. If there is a way, please tell me.
