Windows 10: Logon and Logoff sounds not working.

I've already done the registry changes to make these events show in the sounds / sounds window.

Source: How to Change the Windows 10 Logoff, Logon, and Shutdown Sounds in Windows 10

I've assigned the custom sounds to them I've been using in W7 for years and the sounds play when it click the "test" button but, the sounds do not play when I actually logoff or logon *Sad Help!

PS I also use a sound from my Bloodrayne set for "Empty Recycle Bin" and it works fine.

Windows 10

I recently upgraded to Windows 10 from Windows 7,and I don't have any logon or logoff sound. I have most recent sound driver. My sound is working perfect except for that. How do i get the Windows 10 logon and logoff sound to work?

 

Why can't I have custom logon/logoff sounds in Windows 10

Having recently bought a new Windows 10 laptop, I noticed the logon/logoff sounds were not in the sound settings. After a wander round the internet for help I found I needed to do this

After doing that and setting up the custom sounds I wanted, they don't play. They played fine on the sound settings test button, but not on the actual logon/logoff themselves. What do I do? Also, what format do the sounds need to be to get the best results?
(MP3, Wav, mono, stereo etc.)

 

I do not have a logoff sound on my Windows 10 Pro

 

If you actually read my entire post, you'll know why I have it and you do not.

 

These functions appear to have been deprecated by MS. (Hence they need reg hacks to reinstate the GUI).
Some suggest that if you have fast startup on, you will not get a log on sound, but that isn't valid for me - I have hibernation disabled.

You could, of course, arrange to play a sound on logon using the task scheduler.

Like shut down, if you try to do that on log off, there simply may not be time, and the sound is either not played or curtailed.
