Thanks for 10 likes from the All Windows startup screens series and here are all Windows shutdown screens from Windows 1.0 to 11.

Evolution of Windows Startup screens: • (Updated) Evolution of Windows Startu...

P.S:I accidentally mixed up the clip of Windows Server 2016 and Windows server 2019 part, but there are not much difference between Windows Server 2016 and Windows Server 2019.

Please be minded :
1. For some technological problem, I cannot install sound driver on Windows NT 3.1.If the sound driver is installed properly,it will play chimes.wav as shutdown sound.
2. From Windows 98 to Windows Whistler build 2481 , and Windows Server 2003, the shutdown sound is disabled by default

Here are the changes from the Windows startup screen series
1. Added the Windows NT and Windows server versions, and also Windows 3.0 with Multimedia Extensions 1.0, the first version of Windows with sound
2.Added changes on intro and outro
3.changes in titles of the introducing of every version of Windows

P.S , before dislike this video , please notes:
1.Windows do not have sounds before windows 3.0 MME.
2.Windows NT 5.0 Beta 1 and Beta 2 used windows NT 4.0 as shutdown sounds instead of windows 2000 beta 3 build 1946-1969 startup sound. The long startup sound is introduced in build 1671 and used until build 1911. Before that , Windows NT 5.0 used Windows NT 4.0 startup and shutdown sounds.
4.Windows Whistler used 2000 sounds until build 2485(2481 does have windows xp sounds but they still use 2000 sounds as default).
5.The windows longhorn sounds that widespread believe • Windows Vista Beta Sounds (incorrect) is fake and never used in any windows longhorn builds. The origin of the sound theme is actually came from an official Samsung desktop theme for Windows XP. Windows longhorn used windows XP sounds until 5840.16384(while later builds used Windows Vista RTM Logoff sound as the shutdown sound.)
6.Starting from Windows 8 , there are not any shutdown sound because the "exit windows" was removed .

For lazy people ;)
