How to get back Windows Startup sound to Windows 10 PC – Guide
Microsoft has released Windows 11 with a range of new features, including a delicate and light startup sound that is so subtle it can go unnoticed. This feature was disabled by default in Windows 10 to ensure privacy in places like boardrooms, conferences and seminars. The introduction of a new menu, user interface and musical release feature is not unprecedented; similar features were found on Windows 95, XP and 7.
Windows startup sound back to Windows 10
Open the Windows 10 Settings app by using the Start menu or Win+I keyboard shortcut. Navigate to System in the app.
To access the Sound Control Panel, click on “Sound” in the System side menu or navigate to the Hardware and Sound category of the legacy control panel.
To enable the Windows startup sound, go to the Sound Control Panel, select the Sounds tab, check “Play Windows startup sound” and click Apply.
Restart your PC and you’ll be greeted with the familiar startup sound.
Microsoft has yet to fully transition its operating system components to its modern design language, but is making progress towards this goal.
