Windows 10: Is the new volume slider supposed to not show what volume you have?

After the new update, when I use my keyboard or a shortcut to change the system volume, the new volume slider looks like this and doesn't have a bar to show how far along the volume is so I only have the number to look at. It doesn't make any sense.

Visual volume slider only shows the default playback device's volume

Is there anything I can do to make windows show me the volume of the device that I am actually changing and not just the default one?

This is the visual slider that I am talking about:
