Dismiss Windows 8 Volume Box (top left corner)


When adjusting the volume in Windows 8.1, a box appears at the top left corner of the screen. This box sticks around for ~13 seconds before it fades away. If you attempt to dismiss it by click on it, it switches to the music app.


How do you disable or dismiss this annoying box? At the very least, can the time visible be adjusted? More times than not, it's in the way.

Answer

Open the Settings Charm, click on "Change PC Settings", then Ease of Access > Other Settings, and change the length of time to show notifications for in the drop-down box.


Windows 10


Open settings and click on "Ease of access", then scroll down to the drop-down menu called "Show notifications for" and select a time.
