Notifications for MIP suggested labels disappear quickly.

Products

• Data Loss Prevention Endpoint Prevent

Issue/Introduction

When using a DLP response rule to suggest or enforce MIP labels. The notifications from Word/Excel/PowerPoint only display for a brief moment. 

Cause

DLP uses the windows notification center and we must abide by the OS setting for how long to display notifications for. 

Environment

Release : 15.8

Component : Default-Sym

Resolution

This can be altered on the local endpoint as follows:
Click Start > Settings > Ease of Access > Other options. Click on the “Show notifications for” list box, then choose an appropriate time interval. You can choose from 5 seconds, 7 seconds, 15 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute, or 5 minutes.

If you wish to change this for all endpoints, it can be done via GPO

The relevant Registry key is HKCU\Control Panel\Accessability\MessageDuration
