Újratöltés

Újratöltés, commonly known as "rebooting" in English, refers to the process of restarting a computer or electronic device to reset its operating system and clear temporary memory. This action is often used to resolve software-related issues, improve system performance, or apply updates without requiring a full shutdown.

In computing, an újratöltés can be initiated manually by the user or automatically by the system under certain conditions, such as when a critical update is installed or when the device becomes unresponsive. Modern operating systems, such as Windows, macOS, and Linux, provide options to restart either normally or into safe mode, which loads only essential drivers and services to diagnose and fix problems.

The term is also used more broadly in technology, including smartphones, routers, and other networked devices. For example, an újratöltés on a router may be necessary to resolve connectivity issues or apply firmware updates. Unlike a full shutdown, an újratöltés typically preserves some data and settings, though certain temporary files and processes are cleared.

While generally a straightforward process, improper handling of an újratöltés—such as frequent restarts or abrupt power cycling—can sometimes lead to data loss or hardware strain. Best practices include saving work, closing applications, and ensuring proper shutdown procedures are followed before initiating a reboot. In enterprise environments, scheduled restarts are often managed to minimize disruption to ongoing tasks.
