How to Disable Chrome Media Control Volume / Remove Chrome.exe Volume Overlay in Windows 10 Really Easy

the culprit is Chrome. Evidently, this behavior is a new feature in the latest Chrome browser. When you play the media (audio or video such as YouTube) in the Chrome browser, Chrome will add to the media control panel OSD volume. It was a media control panel will appear in the OSD volume until you quit Chrome.

To disable Chrome Media control key extensions for Windows 10 Volume OSD, follow these steps:

Using Chrome, browse to "chrome: // flags /" to access the hidden experimental settings.
Look for "Hardware Media Key Management" function.
Disable it by changing the default choice from the dropdown to Disabled.
Click the "Relaunch Now" on the popup at the bottom.
Once you've made the changes above and restart Chrome, "chrome.exe" Media control key panel will not be displayed again when you change the volume.

Warning: Unfortunately, disable "Hardware Handling Media Key" will also disable the media control buttons (Play, Pause, forward, rewind) on your keyboard to Chrome. This trade-off I am more than willing to make.

I hope that the Chrome development team will remove the addition to the Windows 10 Volume OSD without requiring the user to disable the integration of Chrome with the keyboard media control keys.

Note: Windows 10 does not provide a setting to disable OSD volume. You will need to find third-party scripts or utilities to prevent the display of the OSD volume.
