Hello.
I don't know if anyone have experienced the same problem as me but overtime my Windows 11 volume UI stops working until I reboot my machine. The case goes like this:
Here is the picture of the greyed out volume UI: (even the setting cog itself gets greyed out)

Thank you.
I don't know if anyone have experienced the same problem as me but overtime my Windows 11 volume UI stops working until I reboot my machine. The case goes like this:
- I have two different speakers, one is on my monitor and second is a headphone.
- Randomly, usually after my machine has not been rebooted for >1 week, when I try to switch between speaker using the volume UI from the tray, the UI gets unresponsive and I can't click on anything.
- If I click somewhere else that is not the UI, it will eventually closed and I can't even open it anymore using the tray icon.
- If I restart explorer.exe, I could open it again but this time every settings in there like night light, accessibility, cast, and the volume slider greyed out. The volume itself still works though, I just can't switch my speaker.
- Currently in order to fix this I just need to reboot my machine.
Here is the picture of the greyed out volume UI: (even the setting cog itself gets greyed out)

Thank you.
