Refreshing Your Chrome Browser for Optimal VM Cloud Performance

Refreshing Your Chrome Browser for Optimal VM Cloud Performance


If you notice unusual behavior in VM Cloud—like abnormal graphics or unexpected functionality—the issue may be simpler than it seems. Before diving into troubleshooting, your first step should always be to refresh your browser. This quick action can often resolve minor glitches and restore normal performance.

Do a Hard Refresh

A hard refresh offers a quick and easy way to clear the browser's cache for a specific page, forcing it to load the latest and greatest version of it. A hard refresh of the page would be the first option to try before entirely clearing your browser cache.
There are three ways to do a Hard Refresh:
- Hold down Ctrl (Control) + Shift and click R
- Hold down Ctrl (Control) and click the Reload button on the browser
- Hold down Ctrl (Control) and click F5

Empty Cookies and Caches

1. Click on the three dots at the far right.


2. Click on "Delete Browsing Data".



3. Select "All Time" for the time range.
4. Check every data that requires deletion/reset,
5. Click on "Delete data".
6. Make sure you close and reopen your browser.



Check Chrome Update

Visual Matrix Cloud operates within a web browser, such as Google Chrome or Edge. Any browser based on Chromium (Chrome) should work for VM Cloud, provided it is up to date. Browsers need to be kept up to date so VM Cloud can function properly.

If you see the icon Update at the far right of the URL bar, your browser needs to be updated.
Click on Update and restart your Chrome browser (close every tab and reopen Chrome).
