How to Change the Windows Startup Sound - Complete guide

Are you ready to change the Windows startup sound? We’ve got you covered. In this guide, we’ll show you how to customize your Windows system boot sound to reflect your unique personality and style.

Before we dive into the steps, it’s important to make sure you’re running the right version of Windows. To do this, enter ‘winver’ in the Run window. If you’re using Windows 10 and it’s not updated to v1903 or newer, open Resource Hacker and go to File > Open, and select ‘C:WindowsSystem32imageres.dll’. For users running Windows 10 v1903 or newer, open ‘C:WindowsSystemResourcesimageres.dll.mun’.

Now that you’ve identified the correct Windows version, you’re ready to customize your startup sound. Here’s how to do it:

• Expand the WAVE folder and right-click 5080: 1033.
• Select ‘Replace Resource’.
• Choose ‘Select File’ and pick the WAV file you want to use as the startup sound.
• Select ‘Open’ and ‘Replace in Resource Hacker’ to complete the installation.

If you’re looking for audio files that come with Windows, you can find them in the ‘C:WindowsMedia’ folder. Make sure the WAV file is compatible with Windows; if not, run it through a free audio file converter.

That’s all there is to it! Once you’ve completed these steps, your new Windows startup sound will play whenever you boot up your computer.

We hope this guide has helped you customize the Windows startup sound and show off your personal touch.
