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've been going through this thread looking for something like this. As of now my volume bar pops up in the top left hand corner whenever I adjust the volume. The problem is it just stays there and blocks everything behind it. And if I accidentally hover over it or move it, it takes longer to fade away. I wish I could change the positioning or the fade timer because I now have to be conscious when I change the volume.
I'm sick of it overlapping the toolbar and it's even worse that the fade timer gets reset when you mouse over.

Fast Patch Windows 11 !!
Please change the position of the sound control panel. Its location in the middle of the bottom of the desktop is a very unfortunate choice, it collides with the control panels of the video player and other editing programs. A much better placement would be to place it again on the left vertically in the first third from the top of the screen. Or to unlock its location so that everyone can place it where they want and prefer. Almost every online game can have such an unlocked basic UI, why not Windows 11?
