How to Hard Refresh on Windows

To perform a hard refresh on Windows, press Ctrl + F5 while your browser window is active. This command forces the browser to bypass the cached version of the page and reload it directly from the server, ensuring you see the most updated content.

If you are using different browsers:

  • In Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, or Microsoft Edge, simply press Ctrl + F5 or hold Ctrl and click the Reload button.
  • In Internet Explorer, use Ctrl + F5 as well.

Hard refreshing is especially useful when troubleshooting website display issues or when recent updates are not appearing as expected due to browser caching.
