What does soft reboot actually do?

196 viewsOtherTechnology

I have seen many people use terms like ‘soft reboot’ while their game was in loading screen. What does it mean and how is it different from the normal reboot button on your phone? Can we do soft reboot manually or do we require to set up something? I have also seen hard reboot so is it contrary to soft reboot?

Soft reboot – restarting a computer via software. For example, after Windows Update installs some updates, it requires a restart.

Hard reboot – restarting a computer via a physical switch / button. For example, if Windows locks up or stops responding, the computer can be restarted by pushing the reset switch / button.
