About this tag
The alarm tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about the Windows Alarms & Clock app, including how to set alarms, timers, and custom alarm tones in Windows 10 and Windows 11. Users troubleshoot issues such as alarms not opening, alerts cutting short, or pop-ups not appearing. The tag also extends to enterprise IT topics like the Host TPM Attestation Alarm in VMware vSphere, which signals security concerns with ESXi hosts. Additionally, there are threads on automating PC boot-up like an alarm clock and a humorous post titled 'Burlington Bertie.'

    Windows 10 Alarm Clock Wouldn't Open now?

    The Windows Alarm Clock worked before. I am not sure when or what interfered it. The symbol of clock in blue showed up, as if it started loading the program, when I tried opening it. Then, the entire blue screen and clock disappeared within 2 seconds. The program couldn't open.

    After only 35 yrs in the general purpose OS business, MS cannot devise a reliable "wake from sleep" scheduler. The task scheduler can shut down, or sleep, but not awake with any hope of reliability. The BIOS can set a base "power management" start-up, but it is insensitive to refinements in...

    Windows 8 1 Really Nice Bit w/ the Update

    This is, actually, a 2-parter... 1. w/ the Update (8.1.1) can, now, opt to have Store icons on the Task Bar. 2. There is, as w/ anything in this context, the ability to 'pin' these to the Task Bar. That said... Active APPs will sit on the Switcher Bar, true enough. However, after a time, the...

    Installation will not totally process on the shutdown process. It causes an alarm to go off in the start up, and the start menu does not initiate. Have tried to shutdown and let Windows configure the updates but it does not complete.
