I have weird issue/bug? with windows 10 start up sound. Its enabled in options but i never hear it when i boot my pc, i only hear it when i press "restart pc", otherwise never the sound on boot. Same with shut down. I also very often dont have asus dos logo when booting up, only when restarting.

I have windows 10 and asus z170 pro gaming mobo.

You will likely hear it on a restart and perhaps if you turn Fast Startup off

Its related to fact that if you have fast startup running, your PC doesn't actually turn off when you shut it down at night, instead it uses hybred hibernate. When you shut PC off it saves half the open programs into ram and the other half into hiberfil.sys so when you start PC up its already got half the info it needs loaded, and probably skips the normal startup process entirely.

The only time it actually turns off/on is during a restart. Asus logo missing also has the same explanation.
