Disable "unlock" sound in Windows 8



One of the most annoying things about Windows 8 is the unlock sound that plays every time you log in. This sound can be quite loud and disruptive, especially in a work environment. Fortunately, there is a way to disable this sound.

To turn off the unlock sound in Windows 8, you first need to open the Control Panel. To do this, open the Start Menu, type “Control Panel” into the search box, and press Enter. In the Control Panel, go to the “Hardware and Sound” category, then click on “Sound.”

In the Sound window, go to the “Sounds” tab. Scroll down to the “Windows Logon” section and you should see the “Windows Logon” sound listed. Click on the sound to highlight it, then click the “None” button located at the bottom of the window. This will disable the sound from playing when you log in.

If you want to make sure the sound is completely disabled, you can also go to the “Sounds” tab in the Control Panel and click on the “Sounds” button. In the Sounds window, scroll down to the “Windows Logon” section and you should see the “Windows Logon” sound listed. Click on the sound to highlight it, then click the “Test” button located at the bottom of the window. If the sound does not play, then it is successfully disabled.

This should stop the unlock sound from playing when you log in. You can also disable other sounds in Windows 8 by going to the “Sounds” tab in the Control Panel and selecting the sound you want to disable. Once you have highlighted the sound, click the “None” button located at the bottom of the window. This should disable the sound from playing.

Disabling the unlock sound in Windows 8 can help make your work environment more pleasant and productive. By disabling the sound, you can avoid any unnecessary distractions and disruptions.
