Windows 10: Can somebody help me with the broken Volume mixer?

I'm trying to make skype have a lower volume when using it for calls because the ringing is so loud so I make it like this and I also lower the volume in the skype app settings.

But after a while of not using it (i.e browsing the web), volume mixer stops displaying it in the listed options just like displayed below (Notice skype is opened).

Then when I use skype again the volume returns back to the highest volume which destroys my eardums and annoys the heck out of me.

Is there a way to fix this problem?

P.S. I've tried both the updated Realtek driver and the default High Definition Audio driver but the problems appears to happen to both drivers.

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.
