Detailed explanation-1: -What’s a coldfix? Where a hotfix is executed quickly without restarting any systems or hardware, a coldfix is just the opposite. Implementing a coldfix requires users to log out of the software while entire systems need to be rebooted for fixes to go into effect.
Detailed explanation-2: -A hotfix is code–sometimes called a patch–that fixes a bug in a product. Users of the product might be notified by email or obtain information about new hotfixes at a software vendor’s website and download the hotfixes they wish to apply.
Detailed explanation-3: -Patch-Publicly released update to fix a known bug/issue. Hotfix-update to fix a very specific issue, not always publicly released. Maintenance Release-Incremental update between service packs or software versions to fix multiple outstanding issues.
Detailed explanation-4: -A hotfix or quick-fix engineering update (QFE update) is a single, cumulative package that includes information (often in the form of one or more files) that is used to address a problem in a software product (i.e., a software bug). Typically, hotfixes are made to address a specific customer situation.
