Windows 10 has numerous options you can tweak and adjust according to your preferences. And that’s one of the best parts of it. You can search settings, explore it all, and turn it on and off to see what’s for you and what is not.
It is hard to leave it all as it is, especially if you seek a personalized experience. One thing you can change is the notifications. I didn’t like that Windows only showed a notification for a few seconds. You barely have the time to take a peek, and poof – off it goes. However, you can adjust this to suit your needs. This article will show you how to change the period Windows 10 shows notifications.
