Steps to Enable Logoff / Logon Sound in Windows 10
- Step 1: Press Win + R together to open the Run box.
- Step 2: Type regedit in the run box and click on OK. The registry editor will be displayed immediately.
Note: The registry editor doesn’t present in the Windows home edition. So home edition users cannot customize the Windows startup sound. - Step 3: In the registry editor, navigate to the following path: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\EventLabels\ Once you reach there, you’ll get lots of entries under “EventLabels” which is the backend of all the startup sounds in the registry.

For example, if you want to change the system shutdown sound then click on WindowsLogoff. And look on the right side pane and double-click on ExcludeFromCPL value and then change its value data to 0 and then click on OK and close the registry editor.
- Step 5: Repeat the same steps with the WindowsLogon registry key. Change its ExcludeFromCPL value data to 0, then click on OK.
