Windows 10: Can I adjust the volume setting popup timeout?

Hi Guys, I'm back!

Well after all of the work to upgrade my Dell Inspiron 7110 to W10, I ended up buying a new Dell Precision 6800 laptop to replace it. Now I'm on W10 Pro and loving it. The OS is on a SSD and bootup takes 23 seconds. It also has a 1T drive as well.

Now, my question is about the popup window that appears in the upper left corner whenever I change the volume. Is there any way to adjust it's display time? I don't want to turn it off completely if possible but it hangs there for about 15 seconds which I would like to see change to 5 seconds. I have looked everywhere for a way to change this with no luck. I hope that one of you can help me on this. Thanks!

P.S. The Windows Version Number is 909 (OS Build 18363.815). I tried to update my profile but could not get into an editing mode on that page for some reason.
