I have Realtek Digital Output and AMD HDMI Output in my Audio Devices, as shown in allached image. HDMI is also connected to my processor for video/Monitor feed. In case for any unknown reasons, if Bel Canto uLink is not available, AMD HDMI becomes next choice without even asking or alerting me and MC starts playing through HDMI. I want MC to use only and only Bel Canto unless I manually decide to choose different device. Is it possible and how can apply it? Please help.

I wouldn't expect it to switch on you.  That's strange.

You could try the ASIO choice to see if that's better.  ASIO is sort of the first choice anyway (when it's available).

When Windows removes a device from the list, then MC has to use another one. The only way to truely avoid that is by making sure your device doesn't vanish. Or as Matt said, try using ASIO, it usually doesn't vanish so easily.

On the Bel Canto Web site, and in uLink documentation, they said best Driver for JRiver Media Center is Bel Canto WASAPI, but if you suggest using ASIO I can try that to.

Under options --> audio ---> advanced there is a menu option "Auto configure output settings on playback error."  It defaults to "Yes," but if you change it to "Ask" that might help.

I have a similar situation where I have a device that comes and goes. When I set that option to "Ask" and try to play to the missing device, MC throws an error so I know to go plug in the device, etc, but it doesn't work that way with all devices (I have one device that when it goes missing, I get no error even with the "Ask" setting).
