A restart, also known as a reboot, is the process of stopping and then immediately starting a computer system or device again. This action is often performed to resolve temporary software glitches, clear out accumulated system memory, or apply software updates. When a system restarts, all running programs are terminated, and the operating system is reloaded from scratch. This can refresh the system's state and can often fix minor performance issues or unresponsiveness without the need for a full shutdown and subsequent power-on. In some cases, a restart might be required to complete the installation of new software or system updates. There are typically two types of restarts: a warm restart, which may only involve restarting the operating system, and a cold restart, which involves a full power cycle of the hardware. Most users refer to a standard restart when they encounter a problem and need to refresh their computer.
