New sound scheme: change system sounds in Windows 10
Whether start, login or error sound - in Windows 10 you can customize the sound of almost any action. You can either use a pre-made sound or import your own audio files:
- Open the Windows settings with the key combination [Windows] + [I].
- In the "Personalization" category, switch to the "Design" tab.
- Click on "Advanced sound settings" there. A new window is opening up.
- In the "Sound" tab, mark the desired system event whose sound you want to change.
- Then select one of the system sounds offered under "Sounds" or insert your own sounds in WAV format using "Browse".
- When you save your settings with "OK", the system sounds are changed.
