What is how to reset roku?

Here's how to reset your Roku device:

There are a few different types of resets you can perform on your Roku:

  • System Restart: This is the simplest and often the first thing you should try. It's like rebooting your computer. To restart, go to Settings > System > Power > System Restart. This usually resolves minor glitches.

  • Factory Reset: This will erase all your personal settings, preferences, and installed channels, returning your Roku to its original, out-of-the-box state. You'll need to re-link your account and re-install your channels afterward. You can perform a factory reset through the Settings menu (Settings > System > Advanced system settings > Factory reset) or using the physical reset button (if your Roku has one).

  • Using the Reset Button (if applicable): Some older Roku models have a physical reset button, usually located on the back or bottom. To use it:

    1. Unplug the Roku from power.
    2. Press and hold the reset button.
    3. While holding the button, plug the Roku back in.
    4. Continue holding the button for about 20 seconds, or until the factory reset screen appears on your TV.

When to Reset:

  • System Restart: Use this for minor issues like freezing, sluggish performance, or when a channel isn't working properly.
  • Factory Reset: Use this when you're selling or giving away your Roku, experiencing persistent and unresolvable problems, or need to troubleshoot significant software issues.
