Volume UI not showing up in Windows 10 20H2 since Apple Software Updater

Since an update from the Apple Software Updater, the volume UI doesn't show up anymore when changing volume. Not the Boot Camp UI, neither the Windows UI.

The updates were :

Boot Camp Update - version 6.1.9
Wi-Fi Update for Boot Camp - version 6.4.0
Apple Input Device Update - version 6.0

There were other issues like the backlight shortcuts on the keyboard not working, but they were fixed when reinstalling Boot Camp.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.3

If you have your Windows Volume Settings page visible, and try to change the volume, does the slider on the Settings page change?

Do you have any pending updates in Apple Software Updates?

Some updates have disabled the screen overlay that is shown when you are changing the Volume levels. There is a Windows version which is a vertical bar with a slider. Do you see that either?

When clicking on the sound icon in the taskbar, there's a horizontal box with a slider (the new one).

I can use it, and it works, but I still don't see the small vertical pop up that should be in the upper left of the display.

The audio works perfectly, I can change the audio from everywhere (shortcuts on keyboard) and from the volume UIs. I just don't get any volume pop up

Various combinations of Apple Updates and Windows Updates seem to periodically break the user-interface. If you are able to change volume and it works, you may want to ignore the UI issue.
