A recent update for the Windhawk program lets Windows 11 users control volume levels for each application directly from the taskbar. This is a feature many users would like to see built into Windows 11 itself.
This modification allows you to easily control the volume of individual applications directly from the taskbar by simply hovering over their icon and scrolling.
Windhawk is a place to find and install customizations for your computer. You download and install Windhawk from their website, and then you can explore different mods. One popular mod, Taskbar Volume Control Per-App, was released recently and has already been updated a couple of times.
Windows 11 has faced a lot of criticism, and some of it is deserved. However, it’s easy to focus on the negatives and miss the improvements the operating system offers.
You can easily change your computer’s volume by simply moving your mouse cursor over the volume icon in the bottom right corner of your screen. You don’t need to click anything – just scroll the mouse wheel while it’s over the icon, and the volume will adjust. A small window will show you how much you’re changing it, and this works whether the system tray is open or closed.
The Windhawk mod improves on this concept by letting you easily preview an application’s volume just by hovering your mouse and scrolling.

The same creator also made a Windhawk mod that lets you adjust your system’s volume simply by hovering your mouse over the taskbar and scrolling. According to Neowin, these two mods complement each other nicely, offering easy ways to manage your PC’s volume directly from the taskbar.
What is Windhawk?
Windhawk lets you personalize Windows 11. After installing it, you can use modifications, or ‘mods,’ to change how Windows 11 looks and works.
Windhawk is an open-source platform and has a massive library of mods from various developers.
Is Windhawk safe?
Windhawk is usually safe, but it’s always a good idea to back up your computer first. Like with any modifications to your PC, mods can sometimes cause problems with other programs. Sticking to popular and highly-rated mods will usually ensure Windhawk works smoothly.
