-nocache command line switch

[Randall Carpenter 1]

I recently installed Delphi 10.4.1.  Once installed, I started installing my third party component packages.

 

After installing a couple of third party component packages, I discovered in the component toolbar every component was displaying a generic icon.  After doing some googling, one guy suggested I use the -nocache option on the command line when loading the IDE.  That worked.  The components now display their appropriate icon.

 

I did some more googling to determine exactly what -nocache did when loading the IDE.  But I have been unsuccessful. 

 

Can anyone tell me what the -nocache command line switch on the IDE command line does?

 

Thanks,
