In Windows, I'm pretty sure it is the other way round.
 
Restart doesn't completely shut down Windows, but shutdown does.

No, it's exactly the opposite - because "shutdown" is what people do all
the time when they want turn off their computers. For this very reason
Windows does only hibernate by default - which means it stores the
current RAM content on the SSD so the last state including all open
applications will be restored when turning on the computer the next time.

However when a user does *restart* Windows, then he does that to make
sure, the system is in a defined state - and for this reasons Windows
will *not* hibernate and restore the current state when it is restarted.
