Hi Marvin and all! I agree on using the Win10 Skype app. It is so very simple to use, even when tabbing to what you want. It is much less confusing to me than Skype 8.25. Have a great one,

I did a google as well as a you tube search for creating a startup and shutdown sound and there were numerous solutions. Some of the methods might not be easy for a screen reader user but if you want

in the meantime, it would be appreciated, I think by most blind and/or sighted users, to send feedback to Microsoft pleeding that the familiar Windows 7 shutdown sound be reenabled and that any wav

Hi. using windows 10 64 bit pro 1803 and got jaws 2018, latest July update. And well found skype 8.25 a bit confusing and also it did not port over one contact which was my second brother, but it does

I can hear the fan turn off. Pastor Gil

as I understand, Microsoft has disabled the ability to enable such a sound, and many sighted users have tried rather involved methods but none of the attempts have seemed to work reliably. but, if

With Windows 10, there is no way to assign a shutdown sound. Pastor Gil

good afternoon list: how do I assign a sound when windows 10 shuts down? Thanks to all in advance.
