Windows 11 users on the Beta and Dev channels have been surprised to discover an old boot sound reminiscent of Windows Vista and Windows 7. At first glance, it may seem like Microsoft is trying to evoke nostalgia, but it's actually a bug. Brandon LeBlanc, a member of the Windows Insider team, initially joked that he was just 'playing around with sounds,' but later acknowledged that the return of the old melody was an error that would be fixed in future builds.
The boot sound, which was first introduced in Windows Vista and Windows 7, has been a topic of discussion among Windows Insiders, with some users expressing their surprise and amusement at its return. While it may not be a major issue, it's an interesting example of how even small details can make a big impact on the user experience.
In the meantime, users can expect the old boot sound to be replaced with a more modern one in future updates. Until then, it's a fun reminder of the early days of Windows and the evolution of the operating system.
