Pronunciation: [wˈɔːmz bˈuːt] (IPA) 
The correct spelling for the phrase "warms boot" is actually "warm boots," with an "s" at the end of "warm." The reason for this is because "warm" is an adjective, and in English, adjectives are typically used to modify nouns. In this case, "boots" is the noun being modified by the adjective "warm." The phonetic transcription for "warm boots" is /wɔrm buːts/.
Warm boot refers to the act of restarting a computer system without completely shutting it down or powering it off. It is a software-led reboot process that rapidly restarts the computer's operating system without going through the complete hardware initialization that occurs during a cold boot (also known as a hard boot or a full boot).
During a warm boot, the computer's central processing unit (CPU) is reset, but the system's power supply and other peripherals remain on. This allows for a quicker restart since certain initialization steps are skipped. The computer's memory is not erased, and any open applications or documents that were active prior to the warm boot will still be in memory and can be resumed upon restart.
Warm boots are commonly used to resolve minor software issues and glitches without having to undergo the longer startup process of a cold boot. System updates or software installations may also require a warm boot to complete the update process.
It is worth noting that a warm boot should not be confused with a restart or reboot initiated from within the operating system itself. In the case of a warm boot, the restart is triggered by pressing a reset button on the computer case or a specific key combination.
