moderated DWM Notification Window
Dave Mitchell
sSeasons Greetings: Is anyone familiar with the subject notification? It is new to me and showed up after a restart that was necessitated after losing speech. I’m no Power User and the little research I did on line prompted me to seek the help of list members for some advice. For the moment, all seems normal with my use of the latest JAWS and current Windows 10. Thanks very much for any help. Mitch

Hi, Dave. I think you will be OK, as long as your computer is running normally. Here is what I found on Google regarding DWM Notification Window
What Is Dwm Notification Window In Windows 10 Desktop Window Manager (dwm.exe) is a composition window manager that displays all of these nice effects in Windows: transparent windows, live taskbar thumbnails, Flip3D and even support for a high-resolution monitor. Instead of applications displaying their ads directly on your screen, they write the image of their window in a specific location in the memory.
Windows then creates a “composite” view of all the windows on the screen before they are sent to your monitor. Because Windows composes and displays the contents of each window, you can add effects such as transparency and window animations when superimposing viewports.

There is a key command to read it, but I'd have to look it up.
If you find it before I do, or if someone does please post it.

Hi, Justin. Might you be referring to Windows key plus SHIFT plus V to read notifications that have recently appeared on your screen? If you are speaking of JAWS specifically, you might be referring to JAWS key plus SPACE, followed by N - Read last notification.

1. Open Control Panel. 2. Navigate to, and open Ease of Access Center. 3. Navigate to, and open, Use the computer without a display.‑ 4. TAB to, and open, How long should Windows notification dialog boxes stay open? 5. Choose a value longer than the default. I chose 30 seconds.
Alternat Way To Change How Long Notification Windows Stay Open
1. Press windows+i. 2. TAB once, arrow to and spacebar on Ease of Access Center. 3. TAB once to display, and press SPACE BAR. 4. TAB (9 times) to Show notifications for Combo box. 5. Arrow to the time desired. I chose 30 seconds.

Hi, My speakers made an alarming squeal for a couple seconds and then I lost speech. When I restarted, all seems entirely normal although this new Window is still open but I can’t get it to read. Should I just attempt to close this Window and go about my regular business? Thanks for the quick response. Mitch

Hi, Dave. The first thing I would do is to do a restart. See if the DWM window is there when you do a restart.

Hi Bill, After a restart as you suggested, that Window does not reappear and the operation seems normal. If things go sideways, I shall return. Thanks, Mitch

Let me add that the new JAWS insert-spacebar, n combination is reading notifications that aren’t necessarily tagged as such. Where I’m most aware is with Outlook conversations, where that key combo gives me the number of messages in a group. Handy if I missed the announcement.
