Windows 10: Why does Windows 10 Have the Windows 7 startup sound as default and how do i change it?

Hello!


I was wondering why my windows 10 laptop plays the windows 7 startup sound rather than the actual windows 10 startup sound. And how can i change it?

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

How to change Windows starting sound in Win7?

Right click on your desktop then from the list choose Personalise and this window should open.




If you look at the bottom of my pic you should see the windows sounds option, I have put a red circle round this in the pic.

Click on sounds and another box will load and here you should have the option to change the startup sound.





You can choose you own sound by using the browse button.

You can also use the dropdown list to set a windows sound and this should not effect any other sounds as far as i remember.

 

Changing the Startup sound of Windows 10

Hello Snazzy,

We apologize for the inconvenience caused to you. I would like to assist you with further information from here.

In Windows , the actual startup sound is disabled by default to enhance the boot time. However, as a workaround, you can check Play Windows Startup sound on the
Sounds tab.

Also, "Windows Logon" sound entry in the Sounds dialog is hidden by default. So the option to change the start up sound is not available in Windows 10.

I suggest you to post your valuable feedback about Windows 10 in feedback app. So, that it will be helpful for the developers to integrate the changes suggested by you.

Open start menu, type Feedback app in search bar and click on feedback app to open it. Post your suggestions in feedback app.

Hope it helps.

Thank You.
