How to Hard Reset a Steam Deck
To hard reset your Steam Deck, just hold down the power button for about 10 seconds. This forces a shutdown. Once it's off, press the power button again to turn it back on. This is like the classic 'turn it off and on again' method, but for your Steam Deck. If it's being particularly stubborn, you might need to do this a couple of times.

Just press and hold the power button for a good 10 secs. It'll shut off and then you can reboot. Works like a charm when my Deck decides to throw a tantrum.
Y'all, make sure you try restarting it normally first before going for the hard reset. Sometimes, that's all it takes to solve whatever glitch you're facing.
Hard reset? More like the last resort button. Seriously though, it's simple: press and hold power for 10 seconds. But remember, it's not the go-to for every problem.
