    How do I get my alarm to stop on its own?
    « on: January 01, 2018, 01:56:07 PM »
    I'm using windows 10 and I cannot get the Windows alarms to stop on its own, it goes on literally forever until you click "Dismiss".  I cannot find anywhere to change it to a timeout, but there must be a way, even if it's a registry adjustment.  Thanks for any help.

      The alarm that comes with Windows; you click on the tile "Alarms and Clocks" which has a picture of an alarm clock on its face.

      @astrose,
      you aren't alone, others here with same problem; http://www.howto-connect.com/windows-10-configure-alarm-app/
      looks like if you don't stop it, it just keeps on ringing.
