Local server does not update css and javascript

Every time I enter my development environment I have to clear the browser cache for the css and javascript file to run or put "? 1" in front of the file that pulls the css and js to force the server to update. I already put <meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="no-cache" /> , but it does not work. If I turn the pc off and on again I have to force the server to refresh again, but this has happened now. Does anyone know why this might be happening? I have a large project with many php pages, many css and js files, can this influence?
