When you restart a PC, does it completely “shut down”? If it does, what tells it to power up again? If it doesn’t, why does it behave like it has been shut down?

I’ve always wondered this, especially when I set my phone to turn itself off at a certain time and it knows what the time is to turn itself back on. It must obviously not be completely off to keep track of time. Thanks for asking this!
