What does a refresh of a computer do What does a refresh of a computer do?

As the name suggests, refreshing means flashing the old with the new, which is explained in the Windows XP help documentation as "updating the display information with the current data". For example, if the walls of the house you live in are old, can you use paint to repaint it again?

A refresh operation is equivalent to a "reflush" of the current data.

In addition to the Refresh command on the desktop, it can also be seen in browsers, explorers, and more. After a refresh operation, the content that has just been modified can be displayed, while the refresh operation while browsing the web is often done to display the content that is not fully displayed, by clicking the "Refresh" button on the browser toolbar. In addition, in Windows, the refresh operation can be done directly by pressing the F5 key on the keyboard function key.

So is it possible to see the results faster by doing multiple refresh operations? Many readers have this operation problem, habitually clicking the "refresh" command continuously, in fact, this operation is wrong. As in the previous analogy, it takes a certain amount of time for us to refresh the walls.

If you tell the worker to "refresh" again, then he has to "refresh" again after he has completed one "refresh". And why do I sometimes click "refresh" on the computer and don't see the effect immediately? This is because the computer is sometimes dealing with a lot of things, as if a person is working under a high load, and while he is adjusting the paint, he can't paint the walls right after you tell him, and he has to adjust the paint before he can do the next step.

How to say it, look at the use of **, often do computer maintenance has a habit, that is, often use the right mouse button to click on the desktop, and then click to refresh, this is generally because, if there is a reaction after refreshing, it means that the previous work of the computer is done, CPU resources are free, and other operations can be continued. Use it in other places to see if there are any new changes.

In the help documentation for the Windows operating system, "refresh" is explained as follows: refresh is used to update the display information of the current data.

The refresh feature is useful in many Windows situations, such as updating the display of file information in the browser, reloading pages in the browser, and so on.

For example, if you post an article or opinion on a forum, and the system says that the post was successful, but you don't see where the content you posted appears. At this time, if you "refresh" the current window, then the content you published will be displayed. Why, it's because the content you publish is submitted to the server, and what you see is the content that is displayed to the client, and this content is the data that was displayed before it was published, and now you have published the content, but the content is still on the server side, and it is not immediately displayed to the client, so as soon as you refresh it, you can see the content.

Refresh on the desktop: The refresh operation on the desktop plays the role of refreshing the display information of the current file, because the desktop itself is also a folder (in the desktop folder in the user account folder under the system disk), but this folder is more special, so we click refresh on the desktop, in fact, it plays the same role as clicking refresh in the folder.

Refresh in system settings: When we set up the system, under normal circumstances, the system can be automatically refreshed, but in case there is a problem with the system, then we can use the refresh operation to make the set items start working in the system.

Refresh to free up memory units: Restore normal operation of your computer.

@注意: Refresh is misleading.

Many people have the habit of intentionally or unintentionally refreshing the computer frequently in their spare time; First of all, this is just a habit (not a masterful technique) and does not take any real effect.

Because, in general, one or two refreshes are enough when the data has not changed, and as for multiple refreshes, the next few times are completely redundant. Therefore, please do not follow suit.

Problem description: When you first turn on the computer, you need to refresh the computer first, what does this do? After using a program, you have to refresh it, is this the same as when you just turned on the machine? Thank you!

Resolution: Refresh the desktop only for the changed system settings to take effect. For example, if we change the icon for a shortcut on the desktop, the new icon will automatically take effect when we click "OK" or "Apply".

But if for some reason the new icon doesn't appear, you'll need to manually refresh it for the new settings to take effect.

In most cases, Windows itself can automatically refresh the new settings and take effect, in most cases without the need for manual user intervention. Just try refreshing it manually when you run into a problem. I often see many people refresh seven or eight times in a row, lest the system will not work if the number of refreshes is less, but in fact, there is no need at all.

In addition, refreshing the desktop has another effect, which is to roughly check the current available resource usage of the system. For example, if a daemon is taking up a lot of system resources and busy, the refresh operation will be slow. If you have a lot of available system resources, the refresh will be very fast. So we can use the simple operation of refreshing to roughly check whether the system is currently busy.

The Windows desktop sometimes gets stuck, such as the movement track of the mouse is retained, etc., in order to look good, so the desktop reset function was born, which is commonly known as refresh.
