I have two ways of knowing my laptop has shut down. I can press on the cd player, and if it opens, the laptop is still on. Also, my external speaker makes a sound when the laptop shuts down.

Or, instead of buying such a device, plug in your iPhone or whatever you have, just make sure you don't use the port which many computers now have and which can charge even with the laptop turned off. If the computer is still on, your phone will start to charge.

Which is why the only reliable means of determining whether your computer has powered off is to connect a small USB powered cooling fan to one of the USB ports. This is especially useful if your computer has an SSD or internal fan that emits little or no mechanical noise or vibration of its own.

And even in Windows 7 I had situations where the shut-down sound played and then one of my sighted employees or my wife said the computer had not powered down because of some message which Jaws didn't read any more.
But adding it to Windows 10 as an elevated task as I described in my other email does work well and it's better than nothing.

Unfortunately, there is no shutdown sound in Windows 10. Hacking the registry to produce logoff or shutdown sounds is a bad idea, no matter what the other "experts" on this list may tell you to the contrary. The bottom line is that hacking the registry can often produce unwanted or unpredictable results. If you want to be sure that your computer has completely powered off after you initiate a shutdown, I suggest purchasing a small USB-powered cooling fan and connecting it to a front or rear panel USB port. When the computer powers off, the fan will stop spinning. Simple as that.

Hi bill, hope things are well at you.
I am using windows 10 1903 with jaws 2020 on my dell laptop.

and on the sound events, I also checked the check box which says play sounds.

I am unable to eare the sounds for other events such as logoff,
shutdown, and restart.

I kindly request you to help me on this.

Yes, it works.

“System Exit” is the event associated with shutdown.

“Windows logoff” is associated with signing off to log on as a
different user.

Hi Bill,
I downloaded the file containing the scripts you mentioned and unzipped it.
The unzip procedure creates three folders each containing 2 files.

What is the difference between “System Exit” and Windows logoff”?

Have you tried this technique and did it work?

Thanks
Tom

Hi. I tried to send this message to the JAWS list before, but it
hasn't shown up in the last 27 minutes, so I am sending it again,
in hopes that it will get through this time.

In case someone cannot find this page on Ehow, I am including the
link below that will download the zip file containing the registry
edit scripts that will return the logon, logoff and system exit
events back to the Sound settings without having to manually edit the registry.
