reoccurs

Comes back around

Reoccurs means happens again or takes place more than once: The same error reoccurs whenever I restart the program.

The word is interchangeable with recurs, though recurs is more common and preferred in formal writing.

Reoccurs emphasizes repetition of a specific event, while recurs often suggests a regular pattern.
