Questions & Answers about Я сбросил настройки ещё раз, и, похоже, проблема была в приложении.

Why is сбросил in the past tense masculine form?

Because Russian past tense verbs agree in gender and number with the subject. Here the implied subject is я (a single person).

• я сбросил = “I (male speaker) reset”
• я сбросила = “I (female speaker) reset”
  If the subject were plural: мы сбросили.

What is the aspect of сбросил, and why is that aspect used here?

Сбросил is perfective (completed action). It presents the reset as a finished, one-time result: I reset (and it’s done).
If you used imperfective (сбрасывал), it would sound like repeated/ongoing attempts or background action (e.g., “I was resetting / used to reset”), not a single completed reset.

What case is настройки in, and why?

настройки is in the accusative plural, because it’s the direct object of the verb сбросить (to reset).
Nominative plural: настройки
Accusative plural (inanimate): настройки (same form)

Is сбросить настройки the most natural way to say “reset settings”?
