About this tag
The tag 'message duration' on WindowsForum.com covers how to control how long notifications and pop-up messages stay visible in Windows. Discussions include adjusting the MessageDuration registry value under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Accessibility to set a custom display time for system notifications, with values entered in seconds. Another topic involves the msg.exe command in enterprise Windows environments, where messages sent to workstations disappear after two minutes; users seek ways to force acknowledgment or extend the display time. These threads focus on registry tweaks and command-line options for managing message persistence in Windows 10 and Windows Server 2008 AD environments.
