volume bar

Hi,



There are times that some shortcut icons from the taskbar may be not working properly due to corrupted system files. Regarding your concern with the Volume bar that doesn’t appear upon clicking the icon, may we know if there were
updates or changes that made to your computer prior to the issue?

Also, we’d like to know the build and version
of Windows 10 that’s installed on your device. To get this information, please type
winver in the Search box from the Start.



In the meantime, we recommend that you run the Hardware and Devices troubleshooter. This tool is usually used to fix some issues that you’ll with the Volume Control. Go to
Control Panel > Hardware and Sound >
Hardware and Devices. Click on the troubleshooter and follow on-screen instructions.

Another troubleshooting step that you can try is performing an SFC
(System File Checker) scan. It search for any corrupted system files and repair it automatically. Here are the steps:

• Type Command Prompt in the Search box from
  Start.
• Right-click on the result and select Run as administrator.
• Enter sfc /scannow and press Enter to execute the command.

Note: The scan may take around 10-15 minutes and wait for it to be completed.

Once you’re done with it, try to click again the volume icon and see if it will already allow you to adjust its volume from there.

We’ll wait for your update after trying the steps.
