Windows 7: Warm/Cold Start

Warm/Cold Start

When I ask my system to do a warm start i.e. a restart not a shut down it always does a cold start ie as if I had just pressed the start button on the desktop to start my computer.

I seem to remember that on XP there was a differance between cold start (boot up) and a warm start.

Or am I just getting too old and cannot remember clearly??

Any help appreciated

Restart is a shut down and start up without the screen going black and the machine completely shutting off. XP does essentially the same thing.

I believe you are thinking of hibernation or sleep mode. Or possibly you had a motherboard for your XP computer that differentiated between the two, and skipped POST.
