experiencing random beeps under Windows 10

• For the Thinkpads, you'll want to go into the BIOS and disable the "Keyboard Beep" option.
  • To reboot into BIOS from Windows 10 — Windows Settings > search for "Reset this PC" > Advanced Startup > Restart now

• Troubleshooting:   You can use Process Monitor (procmon.exe) to wait for a process to access the .wav files. [2] [3]
• This solution (changing the default beep to 'none') might work for me
  1. open the Sound Control Panel
