    Windows 10 shrinking windows and weird notification sounds


    Almost every time my computer goes to sleep, it makes random notification sounds (always the same sound though) and shrinks any open windows. The sounds seem completely random, sometimes several every few minutes, sometimes one here or there. The sizes of the windows are random also. When I wake the computer, they are from about two thirds normal size to just a tiny bar in upper left corner of display. It seems to always move towards upper left no matter what size. I also noticed it makes the weird notification sound when I move the mouse to wake computer and it just made it when I had no open windows.

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    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

    (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.
