Windows 10: Windows 10 Audio Popup

What is this Audio popup that suddenly started showing up this week. I don't think I ever saw it before, but it seems to be popping up randomly. A search of the web shows that this is a feature of windows. Did something change with the last Windows update. I think there was one about a week ago. A cumulative update.


It pops up when I am using firefox. It also pops up when I am watching a video. And the worst part is that it keeps changing the volume. If you don't grab the slider and pull it down before it hides itself, it will increase the volume to 100%


I found that there are some advanced settings in the sound control panel. It lists some of the programs that I have mentioned above and the audio for each of those programs (such as Firefox and Movies Apps, the audio is set to 100%. (There are individual sliders for each of those apps and they are all set to 100%.) Are they suppose to be? I reduced all of them and then clicked on the Restore Defaults button and they all went back to 100%.


I have decreased them all to 35%


And before you tell me to do it, I have already run SFC and the DISP and nothing was found to be amiss.


And I have a up to date antivirus and it is always on.


This seems to be a bug that was introduced with the most recent Windows update.
