Windows 10: Why does System Notification sound on Windows 11 keep going to maximum

Every time I boot up and log on to my Windows 11 pro PC the system notification sound is on Maximum. It is driving me mad!! So I go onto the sound icon on the Task Bar and put the volume for system sounds at as near Minimum as I can. But then it seems to ignore this and goes back to maximum. So again I have loud system sound. I then put it back but it doesn't stay there. Maybe it is because I am a non-administrator user when using my Windows Account logon. For security I set it this way. I have a local Administrator account just for the PC with No Windows connection.

(SOLVED/CLOSED)looking for help with Android phone CONSTANT wireless signal notification

Yeah, thats not a solution she is interested in......I've suggested that course of action. Thanks though.

Just to clarify, I feel that there MUST be a step, or series of steps to turn off JUST the wireless notification sound. Thats what Im driving @ here.

 

No System Notification Sounds Play After Update To Windows 1809.

I looked here and have compared the desktop settings to the laptops, all are set the same, which are the defaults since I have never tweaked any of these settings on any systems.

These settings are the ones that didn't make any difference when I changed them.

Volume Mixer shows me volume controls for Device and Applications, both which are set to their maximum. However the behaviour I see on the desktop machine when sliding the "Applications" volume slider is that it does not make that "beeping" sound at any point. It only beeps when I slide the "Device" volume slider, unlike what happens on the laptops.

When I am in Settings > System > Sound > I even ran the troubleshooting steps which is able to play "Test Sounds" just fine, but the system notification sounds still won't play. However when I finish the troubleshooting steps, I see this notification with a yellow exclamation mark, which may point to the issue, but am unsure how.
