Windows Shutdown Sound Not Playing
Hello TenForums,
I have a bit of a problem regarding my computer not allowing a shutdown sound to play on either a clean shutdown, or on a restart. Reading other forum posts, some people suggest disabling fast boot and using Task Scheduler and gpedit.msc. I have tried all these by using either a .vbs script in Tash Scheduler, or a Powershell script in the shutdown script using:
(New-Object Media.SoundPlayer 'C:\Windows\Media\melogoff.wav').PlaySync();
My changes to startup, lock workstation and unlock workstation all play their part (all three through gpedit.msc and their respectful scripts.) Its only the shutdown one that refuses to play.
I am using only .wav files for this and the startup sound option in the Sounds menu is ticked.
If anyone could help me with this it would be great.
Thanks.
