Could you post a screen shot of the "volume thermometer you're referring to?
Generally, you just click somewhere outside the menu to close it.

Just click outside the "volume thermometer" to close it.
It should close instantly.

Clicking outside of it means clicking on the desktop, an application, or a full screen video. Clicking outside of it does not affect it.

Ok... why does your volume adjust not appear over by the Taskbar clock?
This is where mine appears...
Are you using some 3rd party volume control?
Or some 3rd party Taskbar tweaking app?

If you have a scroll wheel on your mouse, you can adjust the volume simply by hovering on the tiny speaker and rotating the wheel.

Welp, I learned something new today.
Mine's always set at 100%. I just adjust the volume on the speaker's volume control.

There is a general setting for Notifications time out at:
System > Accessibility > Visual Effects > "Dismiss Notifications after this amount of time"
[The minimum of 5 sec setting appears to work for the particular sound bar shown by OP, but increasing it to eg. 5 mins doesn't keep it on screen for that long!].
This may also affect all other notifications.
(pn: My keyboard has Sound Volume/Mute keys, which, if used brings up that Sound bar.)

"Dismiss notifications after this amount of time" was set to 15 seconds. I changed it to 5 seconds. And the volume bar now vanishes in less than 3!
Thanks, das10!
