Windows 10: How Can I Remove the Play Controls from the Volume OSD?

When I change the volume play controls also pop up. They are rather large and obtrusive, so I would like to disable it. It only starting doing this recently(I think a cat on the keyboard changed a setting), previously only the volume showed up. I couldn't find anything for it in the sound or display settings.

[Windows 10] Airplane mode OSD won't show up after reboot

I have a notebook has a Airplane mode hot key (Fn++F2). It works fine on Windows 8/8.1: when the key pressed, there is a Airplane mode on/off OSD show up at top-left corner and Wi-Fi/Bluetooth are turned
off accordingly.

On Windows 10, however, OSD won't show up until I press other keys like Volume Up, Down or Mute, after that, the Airplane mode OSD works just fine. (Airplane mode function always work, the problem is no
OSD)

Steps to reproduce:

1. Reboot system

2. Press Airplane mode hot key (problem: no OSD)

3. Press Volume up hot key (volume OSD show up at top-left corner)

4. Press Airplane mode hot key again (Airplane mode OSD shows up)

Follow above steps, you can 100% reproduce the problem.

How to disable/configure volume OSD/overlay that pops up when volume is adjusted?

Try this app "3RVX", search it on the web, download and install to your windows 10, it's free.

Set hot keys, set your keyboard volume up key as "Increase volume" action; set your keyboard volume down key as "Decrease volume" action; set your keyboard mute key as "Mute" action, then, the "3RVX" will replace the volume OSD of windows 10.

You can change the skin, position, etc. of volume OSD, even hide it. Try it yourself.

Thanks to the author Matthew Malensek, this app solved my problem, too.
