If you find the current volume slider unappealing to look at, find out how to bring back the Windows 7 volume slider in Windows 10 with this handy guide.
The volume slide is just an eyesore to handle, and personally, I prefer the slider in Windows 7 and earlier (as well as Windows 7’s calculator). If you share that mutual feeling of reminiscence with me, then let’s get on the road to bringing back the Windows 7 slider in Windows 10.
Let’s get started, shall we?
First off, I have to mention that this is a registry tweak, as long as you follow these steps to the letter, you will be fine. Else feel free to grab your nearest IT expert to handle these steps.
Let’s begin by running the registry service. Press Windows Key + R to bring up Run, and type in regedit.
Next, you will see the following dialog box. don’t let the enormity of it intimidate you, all you have to do is follow the path specified below:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionMTCUVC
Once you reach CurrentVersion, you have to look for MTCUVC. This is something that may or may not be there for you, if you fall into the latter and lack it, making it yourself is simple. Just right click on CurrentVersion, choose New and create a Key. Name the Key, MTCUVC
Once the MTCUVC key is made, click on it and go to the right side of it, as shown below. Now again, choose New and create a DWORD (32-bit) Value.
You have to name this value EnableMtcUvc and leave its value as 0.
Once you have saved the above key. The change should be immediate for you, otherwise you will have to restart or re-login. If done right, you will see the return of the Windows 7 Volume Slider in Windows 10!
The new volume slider in Windows 10 wasn’t really pleasing to look at, the return of the older Windows 7 volume slider in Windows 10 is truly a sight for sore eyes. Perhaps tablet users will find it more appealing but desktop and laptop users are definitely adjusted to controlling their volume with the scroll on the mouse, right?
