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 moreหลายคนถามกันบ่อยว่า “บน Windows ปุ่มฟังก์ชันไหนใช้สำหรับรีเฟรช (Refresh) หน้าเว็บหรือหน้าต่าง?” ถ้าพูดแบบที่เจอกันในชีวิตจริงเลย คำตอบที่ใช้บ่อยสุดคือปุ่ม F5 ค่ะ/ครับ 1) ปุ่มรีเฟรชที่ใช้บ่อยที่สุด: F5 - ในเว็บเบราว์เซอร์ (Chrome, Edge, Firefox) กด F5 เพื่อ “โหลดหน้าเว็บใหม่” เหมือนกดปุ่ม Reload/Refresh บนแถบเครื่องมือ - ใน File Explorer (หน้าต่างโฟลเดอร์) กด F5 เพื่อ “รีเฟรชรายการไฟล์” เผื่อไฟล์เพิ่งถูกย้าย/ก็อปปี้เข้ามาแล้วยังไม่แสดง - ในหลายโปรแกรมบน Windows ก็ใช้ F5 เป็นคีย์ลัดสำหรับรีเฟรชเหมือนกัน (แล้วแต่แอป) 2) รีเฟรชแบบบังคับโหลดใหม่ (Hard Refresh) บางทีหน้าเว็บค้างหรือแคชทำให้ข้อมูลไม่อัปเดต ลอง: - Ctrl + F5 หรือ Ctrl + Shift + R (แล้วแต่เบราว์เซอร์) เพื่อบังคับโหลดใหม่แบบไม่พึ่งแคชมากนัก อันนี้จะต่างจาก F5 ปกติที่อาจยังใช้ไฟล์จากแคชบางส่วน 3) แล้ว “Refresh” บน Desktop Windows คืออะไร? อันนี้เป็นคนละเรื่องกับการรีเฟรชหน้าเว็บเลย ปุ่ม Refresh ที่คลิกขวาบนเดสก์ท็อป (อย่างใน Windows 11 ก็จะเห็นเมนู Refresh ชัดๆ) ทำหน้าที่รีเฟรช “การแสดงผลของเดสก์ท็อป” เช่น ไอคอนเพิ่งเปลี่ยน/เพิ่งย้ายไฟล์/แสดงผลรวน ให้กลับมาตรงกับสถานะไฟล์จริง 4) กด Refresh ซ้ำๆ บน Desktop ช่วยให้คอมเร็วขึ้นไหม? จากที่ลองสังเกตและเช็กข้อมูลมา มันไม่ช่วยให้เครื่องเร็วขึ้น ไม่ได้เคลียร์แรม ไม่ได้เพิ่มเฟรมเรต และไม่ได้ทำให้ซีพียูแรงขึ้น มีแต่ทำให้ระบบต้องวาดหน้าจอใหม่ซ้ำๆ โดยไม่จำเป็น (ภาระนิดหน่อย แต่ก็ไม่ได้มีประโยชน์เพิ่ม) 5) สรุปจำง่ายๆ - รีเฟรชหน้าเว็บ/หน้าต่างทั่วไป: F5 - รีเฟรชแบบล้างแคชหนักขึ้น: Ctrl+F5 หรือ Ctrl+Shift+R - Refresh บน Desktop: รีเฟรชการแสดงผลไอคอน/เดสก์ท็อป ไม่ได้ทำให้คอมลื่นขึ้น ถ้าเป้าหมายคือ “อยากให้เครื่องลื่นขึ้นจริงๆ” แนะนำปิดโปรแกรมพื้นหลังที่ไม่จำเป็น, รีสตาร์ตเครื่อง, เคลียร์พื้นที่ไดรฟ์ และจัดการ Startup จะเห็นผลกว่าการกด Refresh รัวๆ มากค่ะ/ครับ (แม้จะเลิกกดยากเพราะมันติดเป็นนิสัยแล้วก็ตาม)
