On occasion, I am getting an odd notification, kind of like an acoustic keyboard sound, with several beeps or rings to it…it is very odd because it is sporadic and does not happen all the time. I just got this new machine with Windows 10 so it only started after using this computer. I have disabled all notifications that I am aware of but these funky sounds keep popping up. Any insight would be appreciated! Thanks.

In reply to 1two1. Yeah? And just how do I go to "C:Windows"?

So guys i finally found a solution. Well, its more of a work around that disables windows from doing what it wants to do as it no more knows the path of the file

So here is what you need to do-

Go to
C:Windows
and locate the folder “media”

Rename the folder to “media1” (or anything of your preference, it basically needs to be renamed to anything except media)

FIN!

That’s literally all you need to do! and you won’t hear any of those annoying notification sounds irrespective of whether your earphones are plugged in or not.

You’re welcome :)

In reply to Bob Kosovsky. Incorrect. You have always been able to change the sound profile in Windows by right-clicking the speaker icon in the notification tray. It goes to the exact same settings that you describe.
