when restarting a computer, how does it know to turn back on once it’s turned off?

Question

If restarting will fully turn your computer off then on again, what is directing it to turn back on? are there just some parts that stay functioning?

Answer 1

I think there are parts in the computer that are always on, which is why your computer knows what time it is when you turn it on, because the internal clock is always functioning
