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.

    In that case, you don't actually have the problem this thread is talking about. The rest of us have Windows 11 with version 22H2 or newer, which changed the position of the volume bar to the bottom center of the screen. If yours is still on the top left, you have an older version of Windows.

    I don't think this computer is using ModernFlyouts (it's a company computer, I'm almost sure they're not modding them, lol.) It also doesn't drag at all, just floats up there in the top left and it's not transparent.

    If you don't need more, the add-on you found is probably the most lightweight solution, so thanks for sharing that tidbit that will no doubt be helpful to others.

    In my case, I was already using ExplorerPatcher to restore some of the options had that were removed in Win11, particularly regarding the taskbar and start menu (#1 for me was the ability to put the taskbar on the side of the screen instead of the bottom - I had it on the left side for years). ExplorerPatcher does that and more (here's a PCWorld article about it). Anyway, that's off-topic - I just thought I'd share a little since you hadn't heard of it.

    On my screen, that bar is completely gone?

    Is that a bug or a new update?

    I would like to have it back no matter the position :(
