    The Windows 10 default sound scheme doesn't have start up and shut down sounds, sorry.
    You will need to either create your own, or find a theme that has one.
    A good place to start: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/14023
    I think Age of Empires has one, and Gears of War, and Halo have them.
    To turn on and/or change, go to Control Panel/Sound,
    a window called sound will open,
    go to the Sounds tab,
    check the box Play Windows startup sound:

    Hi Thank you for the reply, yes the themes with sound don't appeal me I am afraid, is there a tutorial for adding startup and shutdown event?
    Thank you

    No there is no tutorial here for that. but maybe this will help get you started:
    Just create your custom wav files and call them Windows Logon Sound/Windows Logoff Sound/Windows Shutdown/Windows Startup.
    For some great wav sound files check out here: http://www.wavsource.com/ when the sound player at the site shows and plays the sound in the browser, just right click and you can then download the sound
    Here to get you started the old school Windows sounds, just click, download, open properties and unblock them and place in C:\Windows\Media(you can create a folder her too, for your custom sounds) then set then them in like I said above:

    Windows Logon Sound.wav
    Windows Logoff Sound.wav
    Windows Startup.wav
    Windows Shutdown.wav

    Plus a bonus for you, I just got it today and decided to use it for incoming Mail :
    2-23_omega_bridge_sfx.wav
