I want the toast notifications to stay up until I:

  • Hover over the toast
  • Click on it (it currently closes after this)
  • Click the X (also, currently closes after this)

Basically, keep it open until I interact with it.

For those of you who didn't know (I didn't know it was a "toast" until someone told me), a toast is this:

Late to the party - as of 2016, you can use a "reminder" scenario to cause a toast to stay visible. See the docs at MSDN:

A reminder toast notification will stay on screen until the user dismisses it or takes action.

Toast notifications are not designed to stay on screen all the time so don't use them to display important data:

Don't use toast notifications to notify the user of something that must be seen, such as a critical alert. To ensure that the user has seen your message, notify them in the context of your app with a Flyout, dialog, app bar, or other inline element.

You can increase the display time in the modern pc settings tool

  • Right, but I don't look up to the top-right up my screen very often. I want to be notified of everything that happens, so in my case it'd be useful. Thanks for the link though. – Jon Feb 15 '13 at 15:11
