Win 11 application alert sounds go missing after updates

The alerts (notification) sounds come and go after various updates. Other sound functions work--just the alert tones. They disappear after an update and after another random update they return only to stop after another random update.

Troubleshooter function does nothing. Other system sounds seem to work. It's the beep in various apps when closing or warning that come and go randomly.

    I apologize for my deviant understanding. To fix that the Windows updates are messing with certain app sounds, I'll invite you to perform an in-place update on your system to repair the system (this is a non-destructive repair of the system, which is different from reinstalling the system. Normally, installed applications remain the same and update the system to the latest version.)

    1. Click hereto download the installation media.
    2. After the creation tool is created, go to Settings > Windows Update, and select Check for updates. (it is recommended to back up important data to avoid data loss)

    Note:

    • Your system disk may require 15-20G of free space (similar to upgrading to Windows 10)
    • If the system is installed in an unsupported directory or under other abnormal conditions, it may not be able to be repaired without damage.
