Yup. User probably put the pc to sleep and woke it up.

Or they shutdown and turn it back on, which doesn't count in windows as restarting unless you disable fast-startup. So you get annoyed tech support thinking the user is a liar and an annoyed end user that knows they turned it off and on again.

I usually just explain why we have to do a restart again, which is what you described cause I run into that a lot

Or turned off the monitor and turned it back on.
