Windows 7 having multiple logon and logoff sounds makes it the best version of Windows

[@Odswietny]

I've preferred the default.

Very interesting! So much has changed over the years...

[@VistaLover8002]

Wow!! Nice compilation!

[@Sonic21Rus]

Good video. What about making video which show how Logon Screens from different systems look like with different quantities of users shown? It would be interesting to see which number of users will cause appearing of scrolling or something similar.

[@thecyanlife]

couple things i noticed 1:41 - Windows 2000. ME. Neptune and Windows Whistler fails to play the log off sound 2:29 - you did not install the display drivers. 9:11 - you didn't cut the part where windows crashes and fails to boot 11:19 - Windows 2000 Server and under is missing. 15:00 - This is an old version of mac. the latest version as of writing this comment is Mac OS 14 Sonoma 15:18 - this is an old version of arch linux. the latest version will do the same thing 15:32 - ubuntu 4.10 is missing 21:45 - old versions of kde is missing 24:16 - it played the log off sound but not the log in sound?

[@inzaghiposumaalkahfi9650]

Windows Server 2025 also Missing.

[@jeremilewandowski]

It will come out.​@@inzaghiposumaalkahfi9650

[@mariodykstra6555]

Windows 98, 2000/Whistler, and ME/Neptune Shutdown Sounds are missing.

[@ExtremeNS0]

What OS are you using on your main PC now? 8.1 has been out of support for 1.5 years now

[@mariodykstra6555]

And the Windows Longhorn/Vista Beta Shutdown and Startup Sounds are wrong.

I start the video and the first there is no sound

Keep it up❤

[@introverted.magic.shifters]

why doesn't windows xp play the actual logoff/logon sounds? why is it playing the startup/shutdown sound?

[@World_of_OSes]

The actual logoff/logon sounds are played when switching users.

[@introverted.magic.shifters]

@@World_of_OSes ahh, now i get it. thxx

[@gapp8163]

​@@World_of_OSesBut don't play when Fast Switching is disabled. However in some rare cases they will still play.

13:44 Why there's no Windows Server 2025 (Windows Server with Windows 11 GUI)?

[@davidcarnaru3]

True why

[@World_of_OSes]

Hasn't been released yet

[@weegeenumberone2]

unreleased. also it's literally just windows 11 lol

[@ThatRandomToast]

Should have enabled Windows Audio service in Windows Server versions.

0:50 This sounds as creepy as the THX Logo sound and also quite unnecessarily long.

[@amir.gamer.1367]

Windows xp log off and log on sounds are not correct ?!

[@ThatRandomToast]

Windows XP did have separate logon/logoff sounds from startup/shutdown, but only plays when switching user.

[@amir.gamer.1367]

@@ThatRandomToast i forgot, i didnt use windows xp for long time

[@ratishone1]

OSes in 3500BC: There are no log on and log off sounds

[@randyghgu]

If I didn't have to use windows due to school related things, I would definitely use MX Linux or Sparky Linux, I'm not interested in Ubuntu since it deviates too far from apt and debain Linux as a whole.

[@Five_CB]

4:31 Hey, wait, how come it's like this?

[@World_of_OSes]

The development of Windows Longhorn reset

[@davidcarnaru3]

Why not windows 3.1?

[@World_of_OSes]

Windows 3.1 doesn't have user accounts. I suppose I could have exited Windows to DOS, and then started Windows again, but that doesn't really count as "logging off and on".

[@emesemalnasy3960]

Yeah i agree ​@@World_of_OSes

[@World_of_OSes]

Are you sure those sounds aren't default for that build?

[@weegeenumberone2]

You clearly have not used that build of Win8.

[@ThatRandomToast]

@@weegeenumberone2 The compile shown in this video is 8056.0.fbl_grfx_dev1.110727-1728. Tried both x86 and x64 and select the "Windows" theme in the Aero Themes section, and both the Windows Logon and Windows Logoff events are set to use the ones in the C:\Windows\Media, not C:\Windows\Media\Cityscape. The ISOs are both downloaded from Bob Pony.

[@ThatRandomToast]

@@World_of_OSes Switch to the "Windows" theme in the Aero Themes section. You can also create a local account named "con" to test it (since "con" is a reserved name in Windows and thus C:\Users\con can't be created).

9:05 what happened???

That build does that sometimes when I shutdown, logoff, or end explorer, it also sometimes comes up with an explorer error. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aH_RmXx5jrqDetk
