    System Sounds Have All Changed


    My new email sound, USB connection and disconnection sound, and even the sound when clicking through folders have all changed. Was this because of a Windows Update? I'd like the old sounds back, if possible.

    Hi,

    Take a look at your system sounds and see if it is set to Windows Default.

    Click Start >> Search for Sound >> Select Change system sounds from the search menu

    Make sure it is set to Windows Default:
