Imagine you are deeply engrossed in a task on your Windows PC. Suddenly an important alert arrives and goes away even before you can figure out what it is all about.

Customize the Time When Notifications Get Dismissed on Windows PC
So, how do you customize the amount regarding the appearance of notifications on your PC? Well, slightly buried in the Accessibility setting, there is a dedicated setting for tweaking the amount of time for alerts. Interestingly, it’s not located inside the Notifications section, which would have made it more discoverable. No worries as this is where my extensive digging comes in handy.
- To get started, you need to click on the Start menu on your computer.
- After that, choose Settings to continue.
- In the left sidebar, select “Accessibility”.
- Next, choose “Visual Effects”.
- Then, click on the drop-down menu next to “Disappear notifications after this amount of time.”
- Finally, choose the preferred time for your alerts and you are all set!
Going forward, notifications will stay on the screen in accordance with your chosen time. Hopefully, you will no longer have to head into the pileup of alerts if you ever happen to miss any alerts.
