Creators Foreground.wav-Critical-Stop beeps every few sec. Event 10.
Sorry for the paste, but not much help at answers.microsoft and hated retyping. I think the paste lays out clearly what I know so far. Hope the experts hear can help me figure this out.
Thanks in advance.
11 viewsRecently Win 10 Foreground.wav sound repeats every 6 seconds. Event 10 maybe?
I asked on June 16, 2017
Latest Windows 10 version 1703 with latest updates from 6/13.
I use headphones for sound very infrequently on workstation for a/v media. Just today put the headphones on to play a video and noticed a continual repeated beeping. Turning Sound Scheme to NONE stops the sound. Testing sounds associated with some different events, including Critical Battery Alarm, shows Windows Foreground.wav was the specific sound. Cannot figure cause or how to make it stop.
Went into event viewer and every about 6 seconds show 2x 10 events and one 20 and 21 events.
Shows Error Code 5 for a Microsoft.MicrosoftOfficeHub_8wekyb3d8bbwe.
Don't have Office of any form, but do have LibreOffice.
Any help appreciated.

tried edit. no go.
Nothing yellow in Device Manager.
Realtek HD Audio driver.
Used "Speakers" in both Windows and Realtek dialog boxes. Sound beeps keep showing in Sound dbox even when headphones not plugged in.
nVidia 980 with drivers.

It is possible that there are some driver incompatibilities with your audio device and the latest update on Windows 10. Have you tried updating your driver? If not, kindly update your driver. To do so, kindly follow the steps indicated on this link.

First I powered up PC then went to Device Manager and noticed a yellow on one of my USB controllers. I disabled then re-enabled the driver. Yellow now gone. Rebooted and yellow still gone from Device Manager. Foreground.wav beeps still there.
I wasn't sure to try this, but went to my Gigabyte MW50-SV0 MB driver website and there was a 2016 RealTek Win 10 audio driver update that removed the old and installed the new driver. Problem NOT solved.
I went to Sounds tab and started changing sounds one event at a time. It is DEFINITELY the "Critical Stop" event mentioned in my first post. Thankfully it's a different wav file for "Critical Battery Alarm".
Thanks again for your help and hopefully you and others will help me solve this.
