This feature is useful even if you’re not a gamer! You can press Windows+G anywhere within Windows (including while playing a game) and use the Audio panel to adjust the volume of any running applications.

If you set a custom shortcut, use that instead of Win+G. Head to Settings > Gaming > Game Bar, ensure the “Record game clips, screenshots, and broadcast using Game bar” option is enabled, and check that you haven’t changed the shortcut from Win+G to anything else. If Windows+G doesn’t do anything, make sure the game bar is enabled.
