Hello, is there a possibility for Edge to perform an automatic/timed Hard Refresh?
I have Edge configured as displays/kiosks and require them to perform a Hard Refresh automatically. Automated Hard Refresh be performed, not a routine refresh. Is this something that Edge can do?

    Hi @GohJiayi

    How do you configure Edge kiosk mode?

    If you configure Edge kiosk mode with --kiosk command line and use the Public-Browsing experience, you can auto refresh Edge using the Auto-refresh bookmarklet. Because Edge kiosk mode in Public-Browsing experience support favorites, for more information you can refer to this doc. You can set the desired interval time in the code and click the bookmarklet at the first time to trigger it.

    If you configure Edge kiosk mode with assigned access, you can't perform auto refresh in Edge because kiosk mode with assigned access doesn't support favorites. You can check the Functional limitations.
