It was possible to change the logon and logoff music  from control panel in Windows 7. However this functionality is left hidden in Windows 8 and we don’t know the reason why, but we can definitely help you to get it back in Windows 8. Follow the steps given below.

 

  1. Our favorite shortcut – Win + R.
  2. Type regedit and press enter.
  3. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER/AppEvents/EventLables.
  4. Look for WindowsLogon in the left pane. Select it.
  5. Change the DWORD value to 0 for ExcludeFromCPL key.
  6. Repeat the same process for WindowsLogoff and SystemExit.
  7. Now press Win + X. Select Control Panel.
  8. Go to Hardware and sound -> Sound.
  9. There you can change all the system sounds. You can even select custom sounds using this.

Enjoy 😉

  1. My logon and logoff sound options are enabled now, but upon logging off and on, they still do not play. Any ideas?
