You’ve probably seen that when you right-click on your Windows desktop or inside windows folder, you notice an option dubbed Refresh in the menu settings. Many users have a habit of constantly refreshing Windows for no reason.
Everything on your desktop is a static frame. Let’s take an example of a video— Each video have many images coordinated in an order and they are projected on the screen at a specific rate i.e. 48 images/frames per second. All of that called FPS (frames per second) is a measure of how motion video is displayed. The term applies equally to film video and digital video.
The refresh option marks all the components of the screen as sloppy, so, the entire screen is recreated in the next frame and represented on your monitor. That’s the original function of the Refresh option in Windows.
Generally, F5 option is a method of describing the process of reloading or updating what is being displayed.
Refresh simply redraws the Desktop. So if you had new files that had been put into the desktop folder for instance, but were not yet appearing on the desktop, it would make them show.
So, feel free to press the refresh (F5) option the next time.
