Method 3: Power Cycle (Manual Restart)​

For a more thorough reboot, perform a power cycle:

  2. Wait for at least 60 seconds.
  3. Plug the TV back in and power it on using the remote.

When to Consider a Factory Reset​

If restarting doesn’t solve the issue, you might need to perform a Factory Reset. Be cautious, as this will erase all settings and personal data:

  1. Go to Settings > System > Advanced System Settings.
  2. Select Factory Reset and follow the on-screen instructions.

Conclusion​

Restarting your Roku TV is quick and simple, whether through the settings, remote shortcuts, or a power cycle. This small action often resolves common glitches and keeps your TV running smoothly. If problems persist, consider a factory reset or reach out to Roku Support.
