Windows 10: Volume keeps resetting when switching apps

I wasn't sure how to title this one, but it keeps happening and is driving me nuts. Whenever I switch apps, or sometimes even tabs, my volume shoots up. I've looked at the volume mixer.

how can remove old apps and reset mixer volume ?

Hi

I guess it's mosly a general question then an audio question so i think it's the right subforum

I have tried this portable softare nirsoft AppAudioConfig v1.15 , and I have seen there are lots but really lots of uninstalled apps and sandboxie apps (programs i have run under sandboxie ) in the list

AppAudioConfig v1.15 is similar to SoundVolumeView v2.20 , but it does list all apps with sound mixer settings ,it does 't allow me to remvove these apps that i haven't anymore

may I ask (seeing i have 't found a tutorial in this forum or w7 forum) there is a way to reset the volume mixer of all the programs?

and Is there a way to remove all these apps (removed or started under sandboxie) settings from the volume mixer easly seeing they are lots

thanks
