Windows 10: Volume Mixer not showing Premiere Pro and the app is not Outputting Audio

So, I used the Volume Mixer to mute my editing application, Adobe Premiere Pro, so I could work while not being annoyed by scrubbing through B-roll clips. I did this a day or so ago and I cannot figure out why it is not showing up in the Volume mixer. I believe I did restart my PC while the program was muted, no clue if that created the problem or if I have discovered some weird bug. No audio is coming out of my speakers from Premiere. All other system sounds are functioning as normal.




note that the timeline is currently playing, and audio is being played according to the green levels meter behind the Volume Mixer dialogue box



Interestingly, Premiere shows up in App Settings, but it doesn't show a grey highlight around it. No clue what that means. If someone could help me figure this out, that would be greatly appreciated.

Volume Mixer not showing muted app

The application was muted on Windows 10 with November update. Now I am using Anniversary update, on build 14393.10

The initial step did not help make Banished show up in the Volume Mixer, nor did the article.

 

Volume Mixer not showing muted app

I do not have an audio problem in the context of "Audio is not playing". The problem is in the fact that Volume Mixer will not show a muted app. This issue has been around since Windows 7.

If you mute an application, it will not show up in Volume Mixer next time you start it. Is there any way I could find the settings for muted applications and change those to 'unmuted'?

 

Xbox Game Bar doesn't show the volume mixer

EDIT:

• Edit 1: still no actual answer for a way to fix this. But I just factory reset my PC, the volume mixer works perfectly now. I know this is not the answer you wanted, but it's all we have
  

Before I go into details do not suggest:

• Fixing my audio driver by updating/removing it
• Resetting the Xbox Game Bar app
• Doing the 'sfc /scannow 'command
• Telling me to use the volume mixer built into windows
• Referring me to the Xbox Game Bar app troubleshooting page

OK, now that we go that out of the way. I have had this problem for about 3 weeks. The issue is that the Xbox Game Bar doesn't display the volume mixer correctly, it only shows the main audio driver's volume mixer and nothing else (no app volume mixer like:
CS:GO, Microsoft Edge Beta, Spotify etc.).
