Joseph, I haven't gone for W-10 yet. Is there an audio clue when one of those notifications pops up?

Cc: Joseph Lee Subject: RE: What do I gain with Windows 10 as a blind person? Hi, Hmmm, how can I explain this... A toast notification is like a help balloon except it doesn't really act as such. Once this appears, it'll go away after a few seconds, and you can actually interact with it by pressing Windows+V while it is shown. You can ignore them, and if you do, they'll live in Action Center until you clear them all (pressing Windows+A will open Action Center). Hope this helps.

So josef, if they don't have help balloons anymore but windows, then does that mean that I will get a pop up window when something happens wich I must dismiss?
