Long story short, it was working but I had a different issue so I re-installed Windows. After re-install as I was getting my PC back up to speed, I noticed that issues. Tried a lot of things but nothing worked. Re-installed windows, talked to a technician through the Virtual Agent or whatever, but even He couldn't fix.
Now I am on my 5th re-install of Windows 10 and I have given up hope of ever fixing this and before you say "That was never a feature.", you're wrong. Before re-installing Windows the first time, it used to work 98% of the time (which is still not perfect, but it did work).
Wait, what's the issue again ?
In the Volume Mixer, when I change the settings for some programs (mute/lower volume) it saves those setting and remembers them when I re-open the program. That has stopped working for some programs. I noticed the apps that don't save are usually UWP.
I'm about 95% it's not a driver/device issue since one of the solution was to go to the registry key that saves these setting and I fiddled around with them. Could delete the key for the apps that were saved and sure enough they would be reset in the mixer. Also watched them get created and I was using the mixer.
Still though, I find it hilarious that I shared me screen with an actual MS technician (and he was able to control it too), yet basically he had no idea how to fix that problem. In the end I told him I used a bootable USB with that WIndows Media Creation Tool or whatever it's called, he used that too to Upgrademy Windows, I asked what should I do after that fails and he said I should reset my Windows through the settings.... and that's exactly what happened: The Upgrade failed to solve the problem and so did the Reset.
Oh and I never keep my old files in case there was a corrupted files causing the problem. Also always got Windows from the network (Cloud ?) in case my local install was corrupted.
