The word restart can hide several actions
Closing a player, putting the screen in standby and starting the entire television again are different operations. A remote power button may not perform the complete recovery procedure described in a troubleshooting guide.
LG documents Quick Start+ and model-year-specific controls, and its memory guidance uses that feature in a temporary-state comparison. This gives a concrete reason to describe the operation rather than just say the TV was turned off.
Make the comparison relevant
If the symptom is a documented memory-restart message, record the exact workload first. Follow LG's instructions for the actual model and compare the same workload afterward. Do not perform a factory reset merely to obtain a clean start.
If a particular app resumes in the same screen after ordinary standby, note it. That observation concerns application state; it is not proof that every internal component remained unchanged.
Keep convenience and diagnosis separate
A fast-start option can be useful in ordinary viewing. Temporarily changing it for a specific test does not establish that the feature is universally bad. Compare whether it affects the reproducible problem, then choose the documented configuration that serves the household.
A later software update can change behaviour, so keep the model and version with any result. Avoid copying a permanent disable recommendation from a different television.
What a useful report says
State the actual sequence: app closed and reopened, standby only, or the manufacturer's full power-cycle procedure with the relevant fast-start setting. Add whether the same message returned on the same screen. That gives support a meaningful state comparison.
This article explains a documented distinction for LG webOS troubleshooting. It does not specify an electrical procedure for every television, promise memory expansion or diagnose hardware damage. Follow the exact manufacturer's instructions for your device.
Keep app state and power state separate
A player reopening at its previous programme can be a saved preference even after a full device start. Conversely, an app returning to Home does not prove that the entire TV rebooted. Observe the system startup sequence and the documented procedure rather than inferring power state solely from the app's chosen landing screen. This distinction prevents an inaccurate support report about what was restarted.
