Windows 10: Volume icon on taskbar not working

Not sure how I did it, but I have lost controls on the volume icon on taskbar. The little volume speaker is there, but nothing happens when I click on it--can't control volume with it. How do I get it to work?

Bluetooth and volume icon - Windows 10

Hi Shelley,



I apologize for the delayed response. It must be unfortunate that you are still facing the same issue. Let me help you.



I suggest you to follow the below steps and check if it helps.

• 
  From the Windows 10 desktop, right-click on the taskbar, then select Properties to open the Taskbar and Start Menu Properties box.
  
• 
  In the Taskbar tab, left-click the Customize... button on the right of 'Notification area:' to open the Settings/SYSTEM/Notifications & actions window.
  
• 
  In that window, under Quick actions, left-click on 'Select which icons appear on the taskbar' to open the Settings/SELECT WHICH ICONS APPEAR ON THE TASKBAR window.
  
• 
  In that window, a list of icons are displayed with their names and on/off switches. Find the Volume icon and select the switch to On. Close the window.
  
• 
  You may have to restart Windows for this change to take effect.
  

Check if it helps.

I hope the volume icon will be back in the taskbar.

And as a work around, I suggest you to download and install the latest Bluetooth drivers from your computer manufacturer website and check if it helps.



I hope the issue will be resolved. Please keep us posted on the issue. We will be happy to assist you.
