Windows 10 Critical Stop Sound Effect

[zsedan]

Hi guys,

Sometimes, when I shut down or restart Windows 10 64-bit, just before the screen turns black it makes the ciritcal stop sound effect.
It does not effect anything, the whole shut down process is like 3 seconds, which I really like in Win 10.
Nevertheless it bugs me a bit, I also had this sometimes in Win 7.
I'm not running any programs while shutting down, it would notify me if I did.
If anyone had this little issue I'd be glad to hear your thoughts!

This may have something to do with some of your background programs that are opened on startup. Open your Task Manager by hitting Ctrl-Shift-Esc, and navigate to the "Startup" tab. Look at the list of items in the list that are "Enabled." Disable them one by one, and then restart and shut down after each until you figure out what is causing the problem.

I'll do that, thank you!

Thank you again for the advice, I found 2 little a..hole tasks, that I never knew about, and disabling them solved the issue.
