Change How Long to Show Notifications in Windows 10

Hi Shawn,

Just, a little practical question : some programs also have this option in their settings (MBAM, in this case). What notification delay is then applied (the system or the app setting) ?
Thanks ! :)

Hello throkr, :)

In that case usually the app's setting will override.

Is there any way to set my notifications for longer than 5 minutes ? I have followed your tutorials and only see 5 minutes the longest time to have notification to stay on. Before the may update my notifications would go off until I saw them and dismissed them.

I use my alarms for taking my pills and if I am not at my computer and it is past 5 minutes now they just go into the action center and stop going off and many times I have forgot to take the pills or at best several hours later.

Anyway to change so they go off until I dismiss them??Is there any way to set my notifications for longer than 5 minutes ?

Hello @Eaglepi,

You could try setting a longer time using option 3 to see how it works for you.

Thanks for the quick reply,

So I want the notifications to go off until I dismiss them so I decided to set it to 6 hours. I clicked decimal then did the following math. 60 X 60 = 3600 X 6 = 21600 I changed the default 5 to 21600 So now the notifications should go off at least 6 hours or until dismissed, correct?

Thanks again

That would be correct, but we'll see if it anything over 5 minutes will work.
