Repeat the Refresh button repeatedly and what's going on? 🍋

It is believed that many people, especially those who grew up with Windows XP, have a similar moment: right-click on the desktop and press Refresh repeatedly because they believe that it helps to slip up when no one can clearly tell if it really helps or just feels.

.

The question is, what does pressing Refresh on the Windows desktop really do to our machine, and does pressing it repeatedly have any effect?

.

In fact, the Refresh button does not help speed up the machine in any way. Its function is to refresh the desktop display, or simply, to reopen the screen, to update the elements on the screen to match the actual file structure on the system, such as if an icon is missing, an unusually displayed icon, or a recently copied or moved file has not appeared on the desktop immediately.

.

And if you press Refresh repeatedly, will the machine be faster? The answer is no. Pressing this button does not increase the frame rate, does not clear the ram, and does not make the CPU work better. The belief that pressing it allows the game to slip up is probably just a belief that we created ourselves in childhood and accidentally believed without proof.

.

More interestingly, if the desktop is already displayed correctly, repeatedly pressing Refresh adds a slight system burden because Windows requires the resources of the CPU to display the new screen unnecessarily. While it is a very small burden, it does not bring any added benefit.

.

However, even if you know the truth, many people can't stop doing this because it has become a habit since childhood.

... Read moreนอกจากข้อมูลหลักเกี่ยวกับการกดปุ่ม Refresh แล้ว ผมขอแบ่งปันว่าในการใช้งานจริง บางครั้งเราอาจรู้สึกว่าคอมพิวเตอร์ช้าหรือแสดงผลไม่ถูกต้อง ดังนั้นการกด Refresh อาจช่วยให้องค์ประกอบบนเดสก์ท็อปดูเป็นปัจจุบันขึ้น เช่น ไอคอนที่เพิ่งสร้างใหม่หรือไฟล์ที่เพิ่งย้ายมาแสดงทันที อย่างไรก็ตาม ผมเองก็เคยติดนิสัยนี้เหมือนกัน โดยเฉพาะเมื่อรู้สึกว่าเครื่องเริ่มหน่วง การกด Refresh ซ้ำ ๆ กลายเป็นความเคยชินที่ช่วยคลายความกังวลไปได้บ้าง แต่ถ้ามองในแง่ของระบบแล้ว นี่เป็นการใช้ทรัพยากรซีพียูโดยไม่จำเป็น และไม่ได้ช่วยแก้ปัญหาประสิทธิภาพคอมพิวเตอร์จริง ๆ สำหรับใครที่สนใจ คีย์ลัดรีเฟรชหน้าจอบน Windows ก็มี เช่น กดปุ่ม F5 ขณะอยู่บนหน้าต่าง Explorer หรือ Desktop ซึ่งเป็นวิธีที่สะดวกกว่าคลิกขวาเลือกเมนู Refresh แต่ก็ยังคงมีข้อจำกัดเดิมเหมือนกันว่ามันไม่ได้ช่วยให้เครื่องเร็วขึ้น สุดท้ายนี้ หากต้องการเพิ่มความเร็วหรือแก้ปัญหาเครื่องช้า ควรตรวจสอบสาเหตุอื่น ๆ เช่น โปรแกรมทำงานหนัก, แรมเต็ม หรือไวรัส มากกว่าพึ่งการกด Refresh ซึ่งแค่รีเฟรชหน้าจออย่างเดียวไม่อาจแก้ไขปัญหาอย่างได้ผลจริงๆ
