Web viewer keeps refreshing itself if cache's not cleared

Post by Khrn »

Hi. I'm using Chromium Edge and I've noticed a problem: after some time sleeping, or after shutting down and turning on the PC again, the web viewer keeps refreshing itself. There's a solution, which is to clear the cache, but it's not permanent. I did some research on this and other people have had this problem in the past with other browsers. Is this a bug? And, if so, are there plans to fix it?

Known issue with Google Chrome since they updated it a few months ago. Exact cause has not been identified. I would guess the same is going to be a problem for browsers based on the same code.

Some have reported that using Incognito mode on Chrome is a workaround, there are several other posts on that. So far reports have been that Firefox and MS Edge have worked.

I'll try Incognito, then. Thank you!
