Yes, you can still play the legacy Windows Startup sound on your device, and in this guide, we'll show you how to complete this task on Windows 10.
On Windows 7 and older versions, the system played a sound every time you started the computer, but since Windows 8.x and Windows 10, the chime has not been part of the experience.
However, Microsoft did not remove the option. Instead, it disabled it on new installations. This means that if you are the nostalgic type, you can still enable the Windows Startup sound from the "Sounds" settings.
In this Windows 10 guide, we will walk you through the steps to enable or disable the option to play the Windows Startup sound on your device.
