'Does restarting a PC clear the browser cache?

I have an old application running on locked-down PCs which are used as wall displays. They all point to a URL using IE11 to get a web page view. The problem is, when the Web Page updates, even if it is refreshed, a cached version is displayed.

If the PC is reset will it clear the cache?

To reduce some potential caching issues, it's best to have Internet Explorer set to request the latest version of the page rather than relying on a cached copy. To do this:

  1. From the Tools menu choose Internet Options.
  2. On the General tab, under Browsing history, click Settings.
  3. Under "Check for newer versions of stored pages" make sure "Every time I visit the webpage" is selected.
  4. Click the OK button.
