Windows 10: In "Select which icons appear on the taskbar", the Volume toggle keeps toggling to OFF in...

Every time I right click in notifications area > Settings >Select which icons appear on the taskbar, then toggle volume to ON, it switches back to OFF after a few days. I couldn't find any questions on this, and all the results show how to turn it to ON, but my problem is that AFTER I turn it to ON, it goes back to OFF after a few days.


I have the latest windows 10 update. So just wondering if this a common bug? I would think it would be hard for anyone to search for such an issue as they would have likely gotten the same results as I have.
