Windows 10: Taskbar volume control stopped responding.

I loaded Windows version 2004. Now my taskbar speaker volume icon won't respond. Is this a known problem?

Wishing to lock volume control as an administrator

Hello,

You can use Family Safety to monitor the accessed websites, search history, and the apps and games they're opening. Currently, there is no way to control the volume of your device through Family Safety. However, we'd like to suggest in hiding the volume
control from the taskbar. Here's how you can do this:

• Press Windows key on your keyboard or click Start.
• On the Cortana search box, type Taskbar Settings and click the result.
• Under Notification area, click Select which icons appear on the taskbar.
• Turn Off the toggle for Volume.
• Verify that the volume is removed from the taskbar.

Let us know if you were able to hide the volume control.
