pereindítás

Pereindítás is a Hungarian term that translates to "reboot" or "restart" in English. It refers to the process of shutting down a computer or electronic device and then turning it back on. This action is commonly performed to resolve software glitches, apply system updates, or refresh the device's operating system.

The act of rebooting can clear temporary memory, close errant processes, and reload system files, often resolving minor performance issues or application freezes. It is a fundamental troubleshooting step for many electronic devices, including computers, smartphones, tablets, and routers.

There are typically two types of reboots: a soft reboot and a hard reboot. A soft reboot, often initiated through the operating system's menu (e.g., "Restart" option), is a controlled shutdown and startup sequence. A hard reboot, on the other hand, involves physically interrupting the power supply, such as by holding down the power button or unplugging the device, and is usually reserved for situations where a soft reboot is not possible due to a complete system freeze.

The term "pereindítás" is widely used in Hungary when discussing technical support, IT, or everyday use of electronic devices. It signifies the action of starting the system anew to ensure proper functioning.
