I have solved this problem with a simple workaround if you are a Google chrome user.
Firstly add the chrome extension 'Easy Auto Refresh', then pin it to your taskbar. (see Screenshot attachment of the extension)
Next navigate to your Xero Tab in chrome and click on the extension icon, set it to 600 seconds and your Xero will refresh every 10 minutes.
It displays a countdown in the last ten seconds near the extension icon on the free version of the extension. You can pay for the advanced extension which will show the total seconds left before refresh.
It is very easy to turn off whilst working in Xero, or if you see the 10 second timer just turn the refresh off so it does not refresh while you are working on something.
