On a reboot the device may not be fully reset.
Windows may have set modes on devices that breaks the linux driver.
When you do a cold boot, power off and back on, that cannot happen.
Many systems intended for use by large enterprises do load minimal network
drivers to support PXE netboot and Wake-on-(Wired-)Lan so IT can push updates
during off hours. In some cases vendor firmware updates are needed to avoid
breaking linux, or you may be able to disable PXE.
