Windows 10 volume OSD in Chrome

[buzzcut10]

Hi, my windows 10 volume OSD used to be just the orange bit (see pic).
I don't know if I inadvertently made a change somewhere, but the OSD now includes the area in pink. Does anyone know what I can do to revert to the way it displayed before?
Thanks
PS. The pink area never appeared before even if something was playing in chrome.

It's a feature that you'll get when there are active media items playing. If you're not watching a video in Chrome (or other compatible app), it shouldn't appear.

You should be able to disable it in Chrome by opening a new tab and visiting the following URL (this will take you to advanced config options):

chrome://flags/

Then search for Hardware Media Key Handling and set it to "disabled".

Ian, thanks so much for that!
