This is thanks to the “Fast Boot” feature in Windows 10, which essentially hibernates your PC, shutting it down but keeping your session, drivers and so-on dormant in the hibernation file, ready to spring back into action as soon as you turn your PC on.

You’ve probably noticed by now that when you shut down your Windows 10 PC, you can magically turn it on again by pressing any key on your keyboard instead of the Power button on your machine. I’m sure I’m not the only one who wants Windows to greet me with a nice jingle, so this tutorial will show you how to bring back a startup sound to Windows 10 and (if you so wish) replace it with quite possibly the best OS startup sound of them all. If you want to hear what the various sounds are like before you apply them, simply. I thought it’d be simple to use the nostalgic noise as my Windows 10 startup sound but was unpleasantly surprised to find that it’s actually deceptively difficult. You can use the drop down menu underneath Sound Scheme to change the theme.

There’s something magical about the Windows 95 startup jingle (maybe owing to the fact that it was created by the great Brian Eno).
