Automatic Window Refresh

Normally, there is a some delay before the changes reflects in the GUI. To see it

right away, you would need to press [F5]. The following Registry Hack will enable the system to do faster updates.



Navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\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. Back up your registry before you do it(click here)



Note:- There is a likelihood of conflict if this setting is applied with system policies running. Change it back to the default if you are running system policies or are connected to a domain controller.
