Hi,
Yes - go to Settings (Windows+I)/Ease of Access/Other Options, then go to
Show Notifications For combo box. You can select between 5 seconds to 5
minutes (I may need to send a feedback regarding this control, as there is a
delay when changing them).
Cheers,
Joseph
P.S. Looks like I'm serving as "Windows 10 Answer Man" here...

can the time to display of toast notifications be adjusted like in windows
7?

Hi,
Hmmm, how can I explain this...
A toast notification is like a help balloon except it doesn't really
act

as

such. Once this appears, it'll go away after a few seconds, and you
can actually interact with it by pressing Windows+V while it is shown.
You can ignore them, and if you do, they'll live in Action Center
until you clear them all (pressing Windows+A will open Action Center).
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Joseph

So josef, if they don't have help balloons anymore but windows, then
does that mean that I will get a pop up window when something happens

dismiss?

Hi Brad,

Well, I suppose you could upgrade to Windows10, & ask Cortana how you
would benefit from the upgrade! LOL, hahaha hahaha hahaha, LOL
Take

care.

Oh, I still have my good working Windows machine. I upgraded another
one I used when I had to fix my normal working machine. I totally
understand, Brad!

Thanks for that. I'm not sure I see the usefulness in that. If I
wanted to have separate somethings, I'd just create a second user
account so I could have separate documents folders, downloads, etc.
Still not convinced I need this. I may buy a cheap refurb so I can
play with Windows 10 when I get bored, but as far as working my good
Windows 7 machine over as an experiment? "Ain't nobody got time for

that."

LOL.

Brad,

One other feature Windows 10 introduces is virtual desktops. I have
not

yet

tried it out, but if I understand correctly, you could, for
instance, have separate desktops for work and personal data. I
guess this feature is intended to help users become and stay
organized. I don't know, however,

if

it is accessible.

Subject: What do I gain with Windows 10 as a blind person?

Hi,

I've been following all this Windows 10 stuff with great interest,
and I just have a question (with a lot of background first):

So FS says you shouldn't use Edge, you should use Firefox or IE.
(I'm

doing

that now in Windows 7.) You can't use the built in mail program; you

should

use something like Thunderbird or Outlook. (I'm doing that now in
Windows
7.) And you should use Adobe Reader for PDF documents.
(I'm doing that now in Windows 7.) Reviews I've read all seem to
indicate that Cortana is iffy at best.

So why should I upgrade again? I'm not being smart; I'd really like
to

know

if I'm going to gain anything other than having a new operating
system

that

I have to use in the same old ways. The only benefit I can see is
that Windows 10 will be supported beyond January of 2020, where
Windows 7 will not. Am I overlooking some wonderful new feature that
should cause me to want to hurry and upgrade? Or does the old
saying, "If it ain't broke,

don't

fix it," apply here? I'd really honestly like to know if JAWS users
in particular are finding anything beneficial in the upgrade, or if
it's just something fun to do to your functioning computer to see if
it will still function.

P.S. Anybody on this list from Louisiana and thinking Cortana, as in
mall?
