How to change the Win 11 Pro startup/logon sound

rzn6jw · Dec 17, 2022

Really hate the bonk, bonk, bonk sound Windows 11 Pro makes after displaying the logon screen after every reboot. I would like to change to the old Vista sound and have the .wav file for it. I edited the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER/AppEvents/EventLabels/WindowsLogon to 0 to display the option in Sounds. There I selected Windows Logon and put vista.wav in the selection box and hit OK. I tested the sound and it's what I want. Exited Sounds and rebooted only to have the bonk, bonk, bonk play again.

What am I missing?

Hello,

It sounds like you need to turn off the Windows Startup sound below so only the logon sound will play.

I guess what I want is to change the sound when the lock screen appears too. Any idea how to change that? I've disabled the 'play sound at startup' in Sounds, so there's no sound at the initial lock screen but the correct sound upon going to the desktop.

Changing the Windows Startup sound is a bit more involved, but you can use the same method below.

Tried to use Resource Hacker after taking ownership of the file. The file is 12KB. Resource Hacker only shows 2 folders per the attached image. If I'm owner shouldn't there be more folders/files shown?

Never mind. Sorta missed the items regarding the change to the imageres.dll file to the .mun extension. Have edited that and will try safe mode replace in the morning.

rzn6jw · Dec 20, 2022

OK, having problems with Resource Hacker. Open the imageres.dll.mun file OK and see the WAVE folder. Do the replace with the new wave, play the wave file and it's the one I want, and save to the desktop. Run Resource Hacker and open the desktop file and only 2 folders, MUI and Version appear, so nothing has been saved from the edit. I have ownership of those files also. Any idea what's happening here now?

When I display the MUN file, it says Availability Status Sync Pending. What does that mean?
