Logoff, Logon, shutdown, restart, startup sounds not playing in Windows 10. What should I do?
 

Solution
I believe they are disabled by default. Try this.
  • Press Win Key + i
  • In the search box type system sounds and select "Change System Sounds"
  • Check the box "Play Windows Startup sound"
  • Click Apply then OK
  • Reboot

That will certainly get you back with the startup sound, but, the other events have not been user available from Windows 8. They can be reenabled with a registry hack.
