  1. Volume Control Icon on Taskbar Not Working Intermittently


    Intermittently, after boot up, The Volume Control Icon on the Taskbar does not work when you left click on it. Nothing happens. You have to go into Task Manager and restart Explorer to restore functionality. This intermittent problem has been ongoing since Win10 was launched. I would think that after all this time a permanent solution could be found rather than having to relaunch explorer. Please, if this fix exists could someone post it up in here. Relaunching explorer causes some of my program icons to disappear from the taskbar which is quite annoying. Thank you.

    :)
