For the past 6 days the volume bar has not gone away. I try to turn down the volume, but it gradually goes back to 100. The bar gets in the way, and the volume is way too loud. I've seen other people have had this same problem, but I haven't found a solution. I've restarted my computer, I've downloaded an updated audio driver, I've held down the audio buttons on my keyboard, but nothing helps.
I have a Windows 10, Inspiron 15-7579, 64 bit.

I just searched the interned for hours only to discover that it's not a software issue, but that there is a volume button on the side of the computer next to the power that I never noticed and it was STUCK. That was definitely my problem. It's still kind of stuck for me, but at least the volume icon went away. Hope this helps.

So this has happened to me a few times (volume going up to 100 and is stuck there). I just turn my keyboard off and then turn it back on and it fixes the issue. I assume my issue is a connection between my wireless Logitech keyboard to my PC. Chow 4 now~
I had the exact same issue for some reason on my laptop. Caused by accidentally slamming my headphones near the volume button too hard - fixed by doing it on purpose. True story
I had the same problem when I turned on the PC this morning. I ran the Volume troubleshooter in Windows 10 with no success. After reading the comments, I started to think this might be a sign that the computer is about to crash. But then I happened to check the two small plug-in speakers that I have behind the display. Turns out that one speaker had fallen over and the volume button turned itself up all the way. When I turned the volume on the speaker down, the problem immediately resolved itself. I feel pretty freakin' fortunate right now. I'm sure that everyone's issue won't resolve this easily, but thought I'd share my experience just in case it works for you.
Hi, I had the same issue recently on my Surface Pro 6. Whenever I tried to press the volume down button, it would instantly recharge to 100. I tried to change it manually by adjusting the bar on the screen but it would still recharge immediately to 100. I realised that it was my volume up button that was stuck down, so I gave it some oomph and it fixed itself and I could now freely change the volume.
