How to Enable Old \/ Vertical Volume Control in Windows 10?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \nPress the Windows key + R shortcut to open the Run command box. Type regedit<\/strong> and press Enter.<\/p>\n

    \"regedit-via-run\"<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \nWhen the Registry Editor window opens, navigate to the following key:
    \nHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion\\MTCUVC<\/code><\/p>\n

    If the MTCUVC<\/strong> key doesn’t exist, right-click on CurrentVersion<\/strong> and then choose New<\/strong> -> Key<\/strong>. Name the new key MTCUVC<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    \"new-registry-key\"<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \nSelect the MTCUVC<\/strong> key on the left pane. Right-click any empty space on the right pane, then choose New<\/strong> -> DWORD (32-bit) Value<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    \"new-dword-value\"<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  4. \nName this new DWORD EnableMtcUvc<\/strong> and leave the Value data to be 0. If you want to enable the new \/ horizontal Volume Control later, just change its data back to 1.<\/p>\n

    \"EnableMtcUvc\"<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  5. \nLog out of your Windows account and log back in. Click the Volume icon in the system tray and you should see your old vertical Windows mixer.<\/p>\n
