Startup sound not playing in Windows 10 (10130)

Try to follow this :
Click Start< Run and type regedit and hit enter. Once Registry Editor opens highlight Hkey_Current_User. Once it is highlighted look on the right column which will show a Reg_SZ value with the name (default). Right click this value and hit delete. Reboot the computer and test.

Hope that it help ~!

It helps half way. I tried it and like Jaustin found in his thread, it only works for restart but not for a normal start up boot.

Yes indeed it would fix only few sounds but

I tried this and it works perfectly to me at least all sounds is back :


There are two User profile registry keys that have become corrupt or are missing:


HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps


HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Names


Create a new user. Log on as that user, run regedit, right click and export these two registry hives individually to files.
save them at flash or anything and Log off.
Log on as the user that is missing the sound schemes ( And its the main user you use ).
Get your files out from your flash to desktop
and then run again regedit and
delete :
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps


HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Names


And then Import both registry files that you saved at your Desktop .

I hope this works to you ~ good luck !

My startup sound was not playing either but after the cumulative update on Nov.5, it does. I never did anything except get the update.
