[Drizzy Drizzle]

Hello,
I've had this issue for a long time and it is that the volume icon wont show up at the bottom right of my screen for my pc, i go to activate it from control panel and its greyed out. I have tried other methods like restarting explorer or going into regedit and doing a bunch of stuff. PLEASE HELP im so frustrated with this

Do you have Windows set to hide inactive icons?

Hit start then type "inactive icons". You will see an option called "Show or hide inactive icons on the taskbar".

Ensure your Volume is set to "Show icon and notifications"

I have done this and it is still not working

Can you check if you have it in the "Turn system icons on or off"(blue text on the same screen as the notification icons.)

Greyed out? Sounds like a malware to me. You HAVE tried scanning for viruses, right?
