  1. Start up/shut down sounds missing. and login screen BG change?


    Since updating my Dell Optiplex 780 to Windows 10 via the free upgrade, my custom start Windows and exit Windows sounds no longer play, in fact, the option to get them back is completely gone! Is there any way I can recover this setting and have start and exit Windows sounds play again?

    Also, on Windows 7, there is a nifty little program called 'Windows 7 logon background changer' that changes the background on Windows 7. However, I don't see anything like that for Windows 10. I can change the lock screen, and create a picture password, but the normal 'type in your password' screen is still the default Microsoft one. How can I change it?

    :)

  2. Log in screen missing.

    I never had login screen missing when I upgraded to Windows 10 but with Windows 10 anniversary update my login screen never comes up. Once I reboot it appears most times but sometimes i need to reboot more than once. I have tried all the suggestions that
    have been posted on the web like performing a safe mode login and performing a re-install but it doesn't help. If I shut down my computer and then start it after it is shut down the login screen never appears. If I restart my computer most times it gives me
    the login screen. This is happening on both my desktop and my laptop so it isn't isolated. Also, since I am not on Windows 10 64 bit on my desktop I don't get the screen in the bottom right hand corner that allows me to ask the computer to restart so i have
    to shut down the computer unceremoniously and hope that the restart will give me the login screen. I am on 64 bit on my laptop which gives me the choice to restart or shut down.

    windows 10 sounds

    I followed your procedure to play startup and shutdown sounds.

    I didn't get the sounds, I selected to play.

    Trying to play startup and shutdown sounds, drastically increased the boot up, shut down, and restart times, in windows 10.

    When I did a warm re-start I had about 2.5 minutes of gray screen, between the time win 10 appeared to shut down, and I saw a start-up screen ( start-up screen, Not my Desktop screen). Shutting down took
    several times longer than normal( timed from clicking shut-down until the computer turned itself off). A cold start also took much longer than normal (Power on- to desktop screen showing).

    I went back and turned OFF the startup and shut down sounds.

    I wonder why setting windows 10 to play startup & shut down sounds, makes windows 10 take
    WAY longer to start, re-start, or shut down than windows 7 did.

    ( Windows 7 Pro 64 bit to Windows 10 Pro 64 bit, no problems just Major Annoyances)

    Start up/shut down sounds missing. and login screen BG change?

    MS has done away with 'StartUp' sounds completely, (although they still work in certain older themes)

    Whatever you choose for your lock screen will become your logon background:

    I remember that program for logon background. It was from a guy named Julian Manici...afraid it doesn't fly on 10. But, the Startup sound option should be here. Right click the speaker symbol in the notification area of the taskbar, click sounds, and you should have this. If you don't have the Speaker symbol, go to Control Panel>Hardware and Sound>Sound>Change system sounds.

    For the Logon screen background, look for this. Settings>Personalization>Lock screen. Slide it to ON. Of course if you choose a custom picture for your Lock Screen, it will also be your Logon Background.
