    Windows 10 Alarm sets but won't sound


    I couldn't find the reason why the Windows 10 clock-alarm would set, but it wouldn't sound. I found various suggestions by folks here to the extent of reconfiguring sound files. I found no practical solutions from the Windows company. I then discovered that all i have to do is "save" the alarm for it to sound. The save function is at the bottom right. Apparently, if you don't "save" the alarm, it won't sound. I hope this works for you.

    :)

  3. Alarm event not showing on Sounds

    Hi Joe,

    Let us know:

    • Do let us know where exactly are you trying to set the alarm?
    • Are you referring to Alarm & Clock app on Windows 10?

    I would like to inform that under Sounds you will not be able to change the sounds for alarm.

    If you are using Alarm & Clock app, open the app, click on + sign at the right bottom of the app window to add an alarm, while trying to add an alarm you will find an option to set the sound under Sound tab.

    For more information about the app refer to: Alarms app for Windows: FAQ

    (Applies to Windows 10 as well)

    Hope it helps. Let us know if you are still facing any issue with setting sounds for alarm. We will be happy to help you.

    Thank you.
