Soft reboot



         


A soft reboot or warm reboot is restarting a computer without removing power. It usually, though not always, refers to an orderly shut-down then reboot.

The Control-Alt-Delete key combination on the original IBM PC was designed to allow a soft reboot for a quicker and more convenient restart than powering the computer completely down then back up.
