Disable Windows 10 Sounds

[petben]

Hello, anyone got any good methods to disable all windows 10 system sounds via GPO?

 

I have tried reg file from web:

 

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

 

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\

@=".None"

 

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Names\.None]

@="@mmres.dll,-801"

 

 

this works but sets the scheme as 'No Sounds (modified)' and leaves a number of sounds still enabled.

 

Thanks

I do it via Group Policy Preferences...

 

 

Here's the XML for the policy above if you want to copy and paste.

Thanks, how do I paste the xml into my new policy?

1. Copy all of the XML code above (so that it's in your clipboard)
   
2. Go to the GPO you want to add the settings to.
   
3. Navigate to User Configuration > Preferences > Windows Settings.
   
4. Right-click on Registry (on the left) and choose Paste.
   
5. Click Yes in the confirmation dialog box and the settings should appear on the right.

I have added a few more reg keys as some of the sounds were still enabled. This will only leave the speech recognition sounds in place.

 

Why MS don't make a GPO "Set Sound scheme - No Sounds"

In order to be consistent regarding registry sound settings, I've created a "Group Policy Sound Settings" scheme (instead of just altering the ".Current" scheme). The attached XML disables most of the annoying sounds but keeps the sounds of the speech recognition enabled.

Attachments don't seem to work for me. Can you post the contents here?
