How to maintain Windows 10 modern volume control UI when mouse wheel is used?

When I click the speaker icon in the Windows 10 task bar, the new volume control appears. If I change the volume by scrolling the middle mouse button, the volume control reverts to the old volume control. It's quite jarring.

If I use the Left/Right keys the volume is changed without reverting to the old volume control.

Two questions:

  • Is this the standard behavior? (I tried switching to the old volume controls and switching back to the modern controls using the registry scripts from How to Get the Old Volume Control Back on Windows 10.)
  • How can I maintain the modern UI when changing volume with the mouse wheel?

3I can't reproduce this behavior. Perhaps some installed application is causing it? – harrymc – 2019-06-14T09:14:42.733

Based on comments that this is not standard behavior, I tried disabling some background programs. The culprit was 7+ Taskbar Tweaker!

I totally forgot about one of its features:

  • Control volume when mouse is over the notification area.

After I disabled this setting, the old volume control does not appear. This is actually a handy feature, so I changed it to activate when over "the taskbar."

A feature request/bug was actually opened for this issue, and it was updated/fixed in 7+ Taskbar Tweaker v5.6.2.3.
