Windows 10: How to fix Volume Mixer is muting programs individually on its own?

So recently, when I am trying to unmute my volume, I noticed that while using some programs, such as Google Chrome, the sound seemed to be muted. I know I unmuted the master volume control but looking at the volume mixer, every program was muted. When this happens, I keep having to open volume mixer and unmute everything every time I mute and then unmute. It is very annoying. To make matters worse, yesterday I experienced a case where one of the programs in the mixer would mute and unmute itself continuously while not pressing anything. I will post a video clip of it happening if I see it happen. This has been happening for just over a week now i believe. Thanks in advance!

How can i get the volume mixer sound for a particular game if it's muted from volume mixer

OT- Sound Issues

Since programs are only listed in volume mixer if they are "making sound", and you mute it from volume mixer, how can you get it back as listed on volume mixer because if it's muted from volume mixer then it won't make sound for volume mixer to identify
therefore you can never get it back, but I need volume for the game I'm playing. Is there a way to get it to reappear even though it's permanently muted? I've been searching for an answer but it's all saying to make the program make noise so it registers,
but it's muted from volume mixer, so how do I get it to make noise??

 

Volume Mixer not showing muted app

The application was muted on Windows 10 with November update. Now I am using Anniversary update, on build 14393.10

The initial step did not help make Banished show up in the Volume Mixer, nor did the article.
