Edge - automatic/timed Hard Refresh

Hello,

is there a way for an automatic/timed Hard Refresh for Edge?
I have Edge setup as displays/kiosks and need to have them do a Hard Refresh without manual intervention. The requirement is to have an automatic Hard Refresh every morning and not a regular refresh. Is this possible with Edge?

Hi @HaltandCatchFire-3720

How do you set the Edge to kiosk mode? By using the command line --kiosk or using Windows settings like this doc?
If you're using Windows settings to configure kiosk mode, I think there's no way to automatically hard refresh Edge. If the former, there might be feasible to use some scripts to achieve this.

If you own the code for the web page that you want to auto refresh, use the META refresh method.

Otherwise, add the Auto-refresh bookmarklet after setting the desired interval in the code. Trigger it for the first time from the browser Favorites bar & then hide the bar if you wish. The bookmarklet will refresh subsequently at set interval.
