Windows 10: Windows 10 start up sound

Windows 10 start up sound comes and goes. It had been off for weeks. Then when the Tuesday updates were installed on Sep 13, the startup sound was active for the first startup. Then it has been quiet ever since. Please don't suggest changing registry or activating the sound in the Sound Control Panel or any of these other suggestions. I have tried all of these.


My question is why did the sound start after the updates and then stop again? I made no changes once the sound started again because I was so glad to get it back. But now it has stopped. Can anyone explain why?

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

Good surround sound headset

I know you say you're not that guy, but stepping into the $250+ range really brings a change in build quality that might have you never having to buy another set. Otherwise, getting 6 speakers with decent sound in a headset is hard, and that's what you are asking for, and I have no suggestions, but just a bump up the list. *Stick Out Tongue
