About this tag
The hover duration tag on WindowsForum.com covers user inquiries about controlling how long tooltips, expanded comments, and other hover-triggered information remain visible in Windows. A common issue involves File Explorer's Properties dialog, where hovering over a Comments field shows expanded text for only a few seconds.

The tag reflects troubleshooting and customization of Windows UI timing for hover interactions.
