win 10 keeps changing default video player

Once again this goes to show that Microsoft's attempts to force updates through for all users regardless of user preference are only as strong as the weakest link in the chain. His solution rests on ASUS' Realtek drivers being fundamentally unfit for purpose, forcing users to have to block Windows' driver recommendations and install another OEM's drivers (Dell's) in their stead. I found it here - look for crdev1's August 2nd post (I will paraphrase the post here because there are a few extra steps I feel are necessary). I have an answer that works for my ASUS ROG G551JW.

I should also mention that there is no headphone device in the volume settings, which there were before the upgrade.

This is very frustrating as I am sometimes using a studio monitor, and having that blow because of a bug is just silly.Īre there any known issues with volume in Windows 10? I've also had Windows notification sounds jump to 100% in the volume mixer too. This mostly happens with Edge, and since Edge does not have a spot in my volume mixer, there's something funky going on there.Įvery time Edge loads a new video or audio element, the volume will jump to 100%, also sometimes when I switch between tabs, it will do the same. It then says it's at 30% and suddenly the audio jumps back down to 30%. When I'm watching YouTube videos on Microsoft Edge and I click next video, my ears will be blown off because, for some reason, the volume is all the way at 100%, until I tweak it with the function key on my keyboard. Today I installed Windows 10, and I love it except for this bug:
