If your computer beeps, it means that something has gone wrong. It’s the same for us. If something’s not working correctly, chances are there’s a problem in your application. This is where the self-aware tool comes in. You can disable the beeping, but you can’t disable the error.
This is a great tip, because I know I often have a lot of errors and I don’t want to be bothered with a warning. The beeping is just a lot more annoying, so I use the error-reporting tool to tell me about all the errors.
One last tip. If you are using a wireless keyboard, you can enable a checkbox in the keyboard settings that will automatically disable beeping on errors. Just click on the checkbox to turn off the beeping.
There are some keyboard settings that can help you with this, but I think if you’d like to disable beeping on errors then there’s no other way to do it other than to go to Options > Keys > Keyboard. Select the keyboard that you would like to use, click on the keyboard setting that you want to disable and click on the Disable keyboard option.
There is something like this built into the standard Windows 10 Settings dialog. It’s probably not in the keyboard settings though and there is no option to disable it.
I think this is a great idea, because beeping on errors should be a last resort. A lot of the time the error message is the wrong information and the users don’t realize that.
I have been using the keyboard settings to disable the beeping for years and I have never come across anyone who disabled it.
This is the main reason why I don’t have any keyboard shortcuts for beeping on errors. I just let them be for now. But I would love to see a way to disable this feature.
Some people say it is an annoying feature and should be changed. I disagree. I think it is really cool and makes a great user interface feature. You can set the system to ignore beeping if there are errors, but it is not enabled by default.
