To make the volume bar appear in the taskbar, you can follow these steps:
1. Click on the “Start” button in the bottom-left corner of the screen and select “Settings” (the gear icon).
2. In the Settings window, click on the “System” option.
3. From the left sidebar, select “Notifications & actions”.
4. Scroll down and click on the “Turn system icons on or off” link under the “Notification area” section.
5. In the next window, you will see a list of system icons that you can toggle on or off. Make sure the toggle for “Volume” is set to ON.
6. If the toggle was already set to ON, but the volume icon is still not appearing in the taskbar, you can try toggling it off and then back on again.
7. Once you have made the necessary changes, restart your computer to apply the settings.
Upon restarting, the volume icon should reappear in the taskbar. You can then adjust the volume by clicking on the icon and dragging the volume slider up or down.
It’s worth noting that sometimes the volume icon may disappear due to temporary glitches or conflicts with other software. Restarting your computer can often resolve such issues. If the issue persists, you may need to troubleshoot further or seek assistance from technical support.
I hope this helps!
