It’s possible that your Roku device is simply not functioning as it should, in which case the most straightforward solution is to simply restart it. It is very simple to restart a Roku, and doing so will typically resolve any minor issues that you are having with the device.
If your Roku is behaving slowly, the remote is lagging, or applications aren’t opening correctly, you should try restarting it as your first option. Starting over with everything has the potential to solve the problem, but this outcome is not guaranteed. The Roku settings menu is where you’ll find the option to do this. Let’s go ahead and give it a shot.
You can access “Settings” on the Roku home screen by using the d-pad on your remote control to navigate to the left sidebar.
Continue scrolling down until you reach the “Power” settings.
In the Power settings menu, select the “System Restart” option.
The final step is to confirm that you want to restart the Roku by selecting the “Restart” option. After you make this selection, the device will begin operating normally again.
That brings us to the conclusion! After the Roku has finished powering down, you will see the Roku logo as it begins to boot back up. This method is effectively provided that you are still able to navigate the user interface; however, what happens if you are unable to do so? Unplugging the Roku from its power source, waiting a few seconds, and then plugging it back in should fix the issue.
