Windows 10: No alarm sound after PC is woken up from sleep by it, until I log in

Pretty much the exact issue I'm having, but the workaround proposed isn't available in my specific app.


After updating from 1511 to 1903, I found out that the alarm clock I've been using wakes up the PC as it did before, but doesn't make any sound until I sign in with my password. I assume the workaround would be to disable "require password after waking up", but I'd rather avoid doing that for security purposes.


What are the ways I could diagnose the issue?

Alarm that works when the computer is sleeping


Hi, you could use a scheduled task:
How to Make Your PC Wake From Sleep Automatically

or you could install a freeware clock alarm
From Comfort Software: If you need alarm clock software for Windows, this is the software you are looking for. Free Alarm Clock supports unlimited number of alarms so that you are not restricted to the number of alarms you can have. Alarms that you set will sound even if computer goes to sleep. While your PC is sleeping and the time comes to activate your alarm, Free Alarm Clock will wake your PC up. The alarm clock can remind you about important events by playing your favorite music and showing a notification message. You can set alarm volume level to a comfortable level depending on the time of the day.

Note the universal Alarms and Clock seems specified not to wake your PC.

 

Alarm not sounding

Having the issue too!!!

HTC Mozart T8698 (OS: 7.0.7392.0)

• [unplugged] - let's wp7 alarm for 3-4 times. then the sound is gone, only the vibration is left working. I need to soft reset to fix the problem.
• [plugged] - seem to have no problem. the Alarm sound is increasing to maximum as it goes
• I also noticed the sound is lacking sometime. Some part of the alarm sound is missing during the alarming. It is like the alarming eating up the resource upto 100% and cannot play the alarm sound smoothly. - -" What is wrong with the alarming???

To Microsoft,

This is just a basic function of Mobile Phone. Please fix it immediately. Don't make customer to wait until Mango update to fix it. Very bad experience for users.

 

PC woken up from sleep with no source of wake

Hi,

Since there was nothing wrong with the power options or profiles, a software might have triggered your PC to be woken up. We suggest that you perform a clean boot and see if it'll make a difference. You can check this
article to learn how to do so.

Disclaimer: Run your computer normally after performing clean boot by following the steps on
How to reset your computer after clean boot troubleshooting at the middle part of the article.

We're looking forward to your feedback.
