Windows 10: Does Windows 10 have a hotkey to mute sound in a window?

I have been wondering and googling for it this evening, it seems to me like a pretty useful QoL feature. But all I could find was the obvious system mute shortcut.

I make frequent use of the sound mixer, because often times I need to mute a window, but it's kind of a hassle to have to bring up the mixer window and manually mute the instance.

Is there something I've missed, or does Win10 not have a function like that? Is there a third party software that could do that?

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

Are custom hotkeys possible?

sharpkeys

it also works with media keys, such as mute. idk about mute mic specifically, but it's possible.

are you sure Vent doesn't have a hotkey for it? like ctrl+shift+something? just assign that macro to a key in sharpkeys.

 

Windows Explorer is muting microphone

Hi Jozef,

To help you stop your microphone from muting automatically, we suggest that you follow the steps suggested by

thread that talks about the same issue.

Let us know how it goes.

Thank you.
