In some cases, power cycling may also help improve the overall performance of your Roku device by freeing up system resources and clearing temporary files. It’s a simple troubleshooting step that should be attempted before more extensive troubleshooting methods.
If you continue to experience persistent issues with your Roku device even after power cycling, you may need to consider other troubleshooting options, such as a factory reset or contacting Roku customer support for further assistance.
