Slow Amazon FireStick Freezing and Lag

Restarting or rebooting your Amazon FireStick is a guaranteed fix for a lot of issues. Here is how;

Method 1: Restart FireStick Through Settings

For this method to work, your remote must be working and you should be able to navigate your FireStick.

Go to Settings > My Fire TV > Restart > When prompted, click Restart again

Your FireStick will now begin to restart. 

The ‘Powering Off’ message will also be displayed on the screen.

Method 2: Restart FireStick Directly Using the Remote

Hold down the Select and Play/Pause keys on the remote together for about 5 seconds.

Your FireStick will start to reboot directly without throwing any confirmation prompt on the screen as with the first method.

Method 3: Unplug the FireStick from the power source to restart it. It's highly recommended to wait for about a minute before plugging the device back in.
