Windows 10: I used to be able to change my system volume in one click.

Now that click does nothing, and I have to open volume settings. Why? This is horrible. What the F wanted this? Please stop breaking a working system.

Windows 10 volume is always defaulted to 36 and I can't change it

Hi Ajinc,

It could be some outdated sound drivers or some audio enhancements that caused the issue you are experiencing with controlling your system volume. To narrow down such concern, we'd like to ask a few questions:

• Which version and build of Windows 10 is currently installed on your computer? To check, click on the
  Start > Settings > System >
  About.
• What are the troubleshooting steps that you've tried so far?
• Were there any changes made on your computer settings prior to this issue?

Meanwhile, we suggest that you perform the steps listed here. Those are troubleshooting steps suitable for sound problems.

Update us if the steps above helped you in resolving your concern.

 

No volume bar when changing volume level and changing brightness causing lag

Hi Trawel,

We appreciate you for being part of Windows 10.

The option for brightness and volume indicator will automatically show on the Windows graphical user interface.

If you face the issue with volume and brightness indicator settings, it may have caused because you are using the ASUS system utilities. I suggest you to open the ASUS system utilities and disable the volume and brightness
indicator and any other Windows related functionality. It is better to disable the ASUS system utility temporarily and check if it is the cause to the issue.

Please be informed that Microsoft has changed level for volume to show as
horizontal level bar not as vertical bar in Windows 10. Click "speaker icon" on taskbar and volume level will appear.
I hope the above information helps.

Kindly try the below steps to repair any corrupted files of Windows components and check if it helps.

• 
  Press Windows + X keys on the keyboard, select the
  command prompt (admin).
  
• 
  Type the following commands one by one and hit Enter key.
  
  Dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
  
  Sfc /scannow
  

Note: If you are not able to repair some files after performing SFC scan, I suggest you to refer to the point 3 “Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them. Details
are included in the CBS.Log %WinDir%\Logs\CBS\CBS.log”. Under the section “Run the System File Checker tool (SFC.exe)”
to repair the corrupted files after performing SFC scan.

Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files

Kindly let us know if you need any further assistance with Windows. We are glad to assist you.

Thank you.
