Own a Roku TV? This 30-second routine will keep it running like new
"Soft reset your Roku using the remote This operation reminds me of the cheat codes you'd punch into an original Nintendo game pad -- a bit antiquated, but also nostalgic. To be clear, this isn't a factory reset; you won't lose your downloaded apps or login information for your various streaming services. Grab your Roku remote and: Press the Home button five times. Press the Up arrow once. Press the Rewind button twice. Press the Fast Forward button twice."
"Just like your computer or smartphone, your Roku TV also stores temporary data (the cache) to help apps load faster. It's like a digital shortcut; when you open an app, instead of redownloading everything from scratch, your Roku remembers certain elements, like images or login information. Over time, this cache can become cluttered, corrupted, or just plain too full. When that happens, it can lead to sluggish performance, apps freezing, audio-video sync issues,"
Roku devices store temporary cache data to speed app loading by remembering elements like images and login information. Over time the cache can become cluttered, corrupted, or too full, causing sluggish performance, app freezes, audio-video sync problems, and error messages. Clearing the cache can resolve these issues without removing apps or account logins. A quick soft reset via the remote sequence restarts the Roku and clears the cache. The soft reset is not a factory reset and preserves downloaded apps and login information. The restart may take a minute or two to complete.
