When I changed volume level, I was able to see this sound bar in any application, even in desktop without any application running. I changed my processor yesterday and since then I cannot see this sound bar anymore. I don't think it's related to CPU change but whatever :) I just want to bring it back. I'm sharing a SS below. I wanna bring it back when I turn on or turn down the volume. I oftenly change the volume especially during gaming, and I wanna see the sound level. I'm using Windows 10 Pro 20H2 19042.685 and I haven't updated my windows version recently.
Btw, I use MSI Vigor GK30 keyboard, and I control the volume on my keyboard. I used to see this sound bar when I'm controlling the sound via keyboard.

I hate google search, I am trying to find how to show it but every result is how to hide it.

one of the few results in the right direction - https://superuser.com/questions/1075929/enable-the-volume-osd-in-windows-10

Do you use Dragon Centre on the keyboard? could be a driver issue - https://www.msi.com/Gaming-Gear/support/VIGOR-GK30#down-driver&Win10 64

try updating GPU drivers?

this shows how to change it but not necessarily how to make it show up - https://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/customize-the-volume-osd-on-windows-10/

few other ideas - https://windowsreport.com/volume-osd-missing/
