How to Use F5 for Refresh

Instructions

1

Log into Internet Explorer, and select a Web page to view.
2

Locate the "F5" key on your computer's keyboard. Depending on your keyboard, this may be along the top edge with the other function buttons numbered "F1" to "F12," or it may be highlighted on the number keys on a laptop computer.
3

Press the "F5" key once to refresh the page. This will cause your browser to attempt to re-load the page you are viewing. The page should reload and appear correctly on your screen.
4

Press "Ctrl" and "F5" together to perform what computer experts call a "force reload." This clears the computer's cache memory and ensures the pages you are viewing on-line are the most current available.
