Things start things, for example, you turn the key In a car and the electrics come on, turn it further and there’s ignition and the engine starts. These are the “initialization” steps, for computers normally restarting is only related to the software and processes, so you could kill the software and OS, but all the heart(motherboard) and brains(memory/storage) are simply not being used but are still be supplied power. Restarting software is very simple and doesn’t have to restart hardware.
