    Showing a BalloonTip on a NotifyIcon shows up after 10 seconds

    I have a NotifyIcon on my MainForm which works fine whenever I call the showBalloonTip() method on it. The BalloonTip shows immediately.

    But when I open my SecondForm and use a reference of my MainForm to access the NotifyIcon it shows the BalloonTip after 10 seconds..

    Code:
    reference.notifyIcon1.BalloonTipTitle = "Title";
    reference.notifyIcon1.BalloonTipText = "Text";
    reference.notifyIcon1.ShowBalloonTip(5000);
    EDIT:
    Whenever I change my FormBorderStyle to something else than "None" the delay is gone..

    TL;DR
    FormBorderStyle.None seems the issue..

    Can you create a small sample, zip up the entire solution and post it here?

    I changed my code to basically first Close() the form and then show the balloontip and that worked..

    My SecondForm was a maximized form across both of my monitors.

    Glad you got it figured out, but without seeing code, it's hard for us to give out any meaningful advice.
