Why we refresh our computer?
In previous post I taught you about some of the windows shortcuts.Today,I want to ask you a very simple question,Why do we refresh our desktop??
Yes,we all usually refresh our computer many more times but I bet 95% of you and my classmates don’t know that Why we Refresh our computer.

A desktop is nothing but a folder in windows.The process of refreshing is similar to as a human being refreshes himself after sometime while doing a large amount of work (just like I refreshed myself 4-6 times and took a sip of water or coffee while thinking,searching and writing this article J ). Same thing happens with computer that is running several processes.

TECHNICALLY
Actually,our computer refreshes itself automatically during working after some time intervals at a rate of 60 hz which is same as the manual refreshing rate.

QUESTION 1 ARISES- If computer refreshes screen automatically,then why do we need to manually refresh it?
Answer-  sometimes due to low performance reasons, we are provided with refresh option in CONTEXT MENU. Lets take an example that you are copying data from USB to harddrive.

  Sometimes After the process has completed,you are not able to see data in harddisk.So here we will mannualy refresh our computer and the data will be shown(see below screenshot).Same thing may happen when you delete data from drive.

And sometimes while copying,the pop up windows get stuck suppose at 500 mb out of 700 mb but process is still going on,to copy 700 mb but not shown to you. Here REFRESH option wil surely help you to show you the current status of the file being coppied

What actually happens here is that it refreshes the RAM and show the CURRENT STATUS of our computer. I repeat, Refreshing bring the computer into its current Status by deleting away all the previously completed process cycles from RAM.It doesnot increase the speed.

Question2  If refreshing rate of computer and manual refresh(F5) is same(60hz), then why the desktop icons get disappeared while manually refreshing and not disappeared while automatic refreshing??
Answer-Please Don’t get confused with it. Computer refreshes itself after an interval and not every second.So the icons don’t disappear.
But when we manually refresh it by F5, we are forcing it to refresh several times in just a second. So the desktop icons disappears.

Why you people refresh computer?or do we actually need it.
The answer is very simple.We refresh our computer because we are told to do so by our elders.
We are addicted to refresh it without any reasons. Don’t think refreshing computer 10-13 times will increase the speed bcoz it will not. So just try to get RID of this habbit.
I repeat,Refreshing will not increase the speed.

I was also doing that until it was not known to me. But now am not. So I wished to share it with you people.
And I think you should also share this article with other people because many of them doesn’t know this fact. Good Luck.
