Hi, usually on my screen's display, when I pressed the volume button on the keyboard, the volume bar will show on my screen at the top left. However, I accidentally pressed a lot of buttons, and the volume bar change from top left of the screen to the middle bottom of screen.

How do I change it back to the top left of screen? Thank you.

    I am having the same problem. I like the fact that the new slider makes it easier to fine-tune the volume but I don't like the new positioning and I want the background to be black again.

    If it's any help, I found an app in the Microsoft Store called "ModernFlyouts (Preview)" that allows you to customize the volume and brightness sliders, unfortunately it doesn't replace the current UI and also the app's slider can't be positioned vertically, but at least you can place it where you have better visibility on your screen.

    Edit: I found a solution for the annoying current bottom-centered slider, there's an app called "HideVolumeOSD" that can get rid of it but doesn't interfere with the first app, you can find it here: HideVolumeOSD 1.4 for Windows 10 and 11 | Venturi.de.

    The current position of volume bar is really terrible!

    This change is so awful it blows my mind. They literally could not have put it in a worse place for people on laptops. Now I get no visual feedback when I change the volume because my hands exactly cover the area of the screen that shows the volume.

    They had something that worked completely fine and broke it for literally no reason.

    Yeah same here. Move it back. My eyes can't adjust to looking in the middle of screen when its been in the top left for a decade.
