To make this work I installed Free Alarm Clock, then: not steal focus when the alarm message pops up.leave an alert open on the screen so if I did miss the alarm when it sounded I will see it when I get back.to play a loud "obnoxious" sound once - so I can hear it through the house - but not repeat in case I am not around.Here is what works for me - a kludge for sure but does what I need it to do:

Enter the FULL path (like C:\Users\Joey\Desktop\Popup.vbs ACmsgloc is the LOCATION of the reminder file. Monday=MON Tuesday=Tue Wednesday=WED (You get the point?)ģ. ACday is the FIRST 3 letters of the day, no other characters. Remeber to put just digits no other characters.Ģ. SET ACmsgloc=C:\Users\Jeremi\Desktop\FaceCensorApp.vbsġ. This will be the file that checks the date and time and executes Popup.vbs OFF with the body and REMINDER! with the title Alarm.bat This will be the file with the reminder lol=msgbox("MESSAGE.",0,"REMINDER!")Ĭhange MESSAGE. This will be the file you place in the startup section of the start menu (All programs panel) Set oShell = CreateObject ("Wscript.Shell")Ĭhange $LOCATION$ with the location of the third file, Popup.vbs You can download it or copy+paste the code: Startup.vbs

Since you said we could use software, I made a 3-piece alarm clock.
#SHUTDOWN TIMER WINDOWS 10 APP STORE INSTALL#
If there is no specific "Alarm & Clock" fix, I would be open to using a different app, as long as it wouldn't require me to install something like "Java Run-time Environment", which I don't want to do (security risks). (There is a way to turn off the sound for the alarm clock). I've tried changing the settings of the app, but as far as I can tell the app has no settings page, and no way to turn off the volume for the timer. I've tried turning down the "system sounds" volume control, and this has no effect.

Unfortunately, there is no dedicated volume control for the alarm app. I've tried turning off the sound for that specific app (I'm playing music, so I can't turn the sound off completely), using the app titled "volume mixer". In addition, the volume of the music I am playing through Firefox decreases when this alarm plays, and increases afterwards. Unfortunately, while I get a notification, the app accompanies the notification with an obnoxious beeping alarm sound. I'm currently trying to set up a timer so that (for example) after 10 minutes, I get a notification saying something like "time's up". This question is about the Windows 10 default Alarm & Clock app.
