38How To Decrease Or Increase Notification Display Time In Windows 11 [Tutorial]
Windows 11 notifications play a significant role in keeping you informed about what’s happening within the system. Whether it’s an upcoming calendar event, an incoming email message, or even detection of a malicious threat, the Windows 11 notifications that pop up in the bottom-right of the screen are your first indication that something needs attention.
In Windows 11, these notifications are part of the new Action Center, a centralized location for managing incoming notifications. By default, notifications will pop up for a few quick seconds then disappear. Instead of breaking your current activity to review that notification in detail, you can configure notifications to appear a little bit longer on screen.

Windows Action Center keeps a stack of all notifications that arrive from different applications. When an application sends out a notification, it is displayed for 5 seconds, and then it disappears. While five seconds are enough to draw your attention and help you get a glance about the message, sometimes you wish it stayed a little longer. In this post, we will share how you can decrease or increase the Windows 11/10 notification display time.
On Windows 11, when an application receives an alert, a toast notification briefly displays in the bottom-left corner of the screen for five seconds before it's directed to Action center. Although five seconds should be more than enough time to understand the message and take action as necessary, if you prefer leaving a notification for a longer period, you can increase the time up to five minutes.
However, the setting to customize this feature isn't easy to find on Windows 11. Instead of using the "Notifications & actions" page, you actually have to perform this task from the "Display" page in the Ease of Access section or modify the Registry.
