Can someone plz help me? my computer shuts down too fast. What do I do?

Hello eebra, and welcome to Ten Forums.

You will have to be an administrator to create the elevated task that plays the sounds at shut down, but it will play for any user that performs a shut down.

This is indeed the tricky part. The sound file needs to be something short (ex: a simple ding) since Windows does usually shut down so quickly.

so, not a windows 7 shutdown?

Same basic shut down in Windows 10, but just faster now.

i think the windows shutdown sound is nice and short. but when I click run it takes about 1-3 seconds to play the sound is that supposed to happen

It can be normal for a slight delay before the sound plays depending on what's happening in the background while shutting down.

What are the important steps, maybe I did one of them wrong

Each step is critical for it to work, so you might double check the task with each step to see if anything may not be correct.

What issue are you having?
