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 completely agree. It is like some of the forced changes that come with the updates are pointless and given zero forethought to them, like how the change might negatively effect usage of the product. I hate turning on my laptop after an update to my entire arrangement being messed up and having to play detective to get it back to a workable one, if there’s even a way to fix it. This, plus all the annoying extras forced upon you taking up data and space with no way to delete is why I will 100% never buy another microsoft Windows laptop.

    I, also, would like the ability to move the volume bar. bottom center is not optimal.

    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.

    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.

    I would like to meet with the team who decided to change this volume bar and put it that low and in the middle. If you watch youtube, and change sound, which I do ultra frequently, you cannot scroll on the video in the middle while the volume display is on, and If you put your mouse on, it will stay longer. Just why, why, put it in the worst place ever .... And you cannot click like about 10px arround it ...What are these people thinking about....!!
