A "Soft Reset" refers to the process of restarting a device without completely shutting it down. This method is often used in electronics, such as smartphones and computers, to refresh the system and resolve minor issues without losing any data. It typically involves pressing a specific combination of buttons or selecting an option in the settings menu. Unlike a "Hard Reset," which erases all data and restores the device to factory settings, a soft reset retains user information and settings. This makes it a useful troubleshooting step for resolving glitches or performance problems while keeping personal files intact.
