Automatic Window Refresh - Performance Enhancement Windows XP Registry Hack



Normally, there is a small delay after some information changes before it reflects in the GUI. If you need to see the information right away, you would need to press [F5]. The following will enable the system to do faster updates.

Navigate to:
HLM\ SYSTEM\ CurrentControlSet\ Control\ Update

For faster updates, change the DWORD value called UpdateMode to 0. The default is 1.

A reboot will be required for the changes to take effect. Note that there is a likelihood of conflict if this setting is applied with system policies running: the UpdateMode value is used by system policies to Disable, Automatically or Manually check for a connection to the NETLOGON share of a domain controller. Change it back to the default if you are running system policies or are connected to a domain controller.
