Windows 10: Why does Windows 10 come with hidden log on/start up sounds?

If you look in C:\Windows\Media, there seems to be some sounds that were created for Windows 10.

Like Windows Logon.wav. Did Microsoft scrap these sounds? For some reason, the option to choose a Log on or Log Off sound doesn't exist in the "Sounds" settings in the Control Panel.

Windows Start up Time Setting Display

Windows 10 64 bit Version 1607 with all updates.

When I boot up my laptop it comes up with time displayed in huge letters in am/pm/(12 hour) format.

The Users are set to 24 Hour Time format.

As soon as a User (mainly me) logs on the 24 hour setting displays.

Not a major problem , just rather irritating.

Why, then does start up/(boot up) screen display the 12 hour format?

 

Windows 10 Update changed user accounts and now I cannot log into my administrator account.

Hi everyone:

I've just completed the upgrade to Windows 10 and, despite the initially positive impression, was horrified to find that my administrator account had been deleted (I later found it) and replaced with a secondary account. I can only access my main account
through a troublesome path - it does not even come up as an option when logging in - and want to change this. I have tried in the Settings to Add or Change Acounts, but that option is also unavailable. Finally, I tried to log in through my Microsoft/Outlook
account, but was told that my password was wrong. What the hell is going on?

Can anyone tell me how to:

1. Reactive my now hidden administrator account and use it to replace the one that has been made default by the upgrade?

2. Why my Microsoft/Outlook password, which is unchanged, does not permit me to log in that way?

3. How can I add an account - preferably an existing one (Does, and why would, Windows 10 only allow three users?) - even though that option is unavailable.

By the way, the Microsoft Account FAQ is completely useless.

Thanks in advance.

 

You can take "any" sound and name it Log-on and just replace the existing sound in the Media folder
now your system would play That sound *Smile

simple.....

Good luck

 

But the sound doesn't exist in "Sound" settings. In W7 and Vista, there was a "category" for Logon Sound and Logoff Sound.

 

In your previous car, the light switch was on the dash, in the new car it's in the steering wheel.... *Smile
Does it really matter how we switch the light on?

So they have changed their method..... I don't see the issue *Smile *Smile

 

I don't understand what you mean.

Even if I change something like "User account control sound" to the Log On sound, it won't play during the log in process. It's not synced to that.
