What I found in the event log is some information that apparently the system was reactivated from standby mode, but I definitely shut the system down regularly. This happens all the time. What is it, some faulty ACPI config?

Since Windows 8, the shutdown is a logoff of the user + hibernation of the kernel/Windows services.
So booting is now a resume of the kernel/all drivers/services + login of a user. This resuming of services/drivers is much faster compared to a full boot where Windows has to start each service/driver again. So everything is fine. If you want the old boot/shutdown or dualboot with Linux systems, disable fast Startup.
Otherwise you can't mount the Windows partition in Linux.

8That's it! I'm switching to Linux! I've been lied to for too long. lol I can't believe I am *just* learning this little fact... this explains a lot for me! +1 – unknownprotocol Aug 05 '16 at 08:34

6Another option is to hold Shift while clicking the shutdown.button. This also performs a "real" shutdown. – Jakube Aug 05 '16 at 08:59

6Incidentally, if you dual-boot, windows *does* close off properly when you call for a restart, but uses hibernate functionality when you do a shutdown, and linux' NTFS drivers will refuse to mount a hybernating windows drive. Something to be aware of. – Shadur Aug 05 '16 at 11:12

@Shadur that bothered me for months and months until I finally figured it out! – AmazingDreams Aug 05 '16 at 14:04

1More specifically, you can only mount hibernating Windows drives as read-only in Linux without using dark majicks. – Schism Aug 05 '16 at 16:24

Not sure why this got to do anything with Linux as Linux wasn't even mentioned in the title or text of the original post. But I have the same issue and don't have that startup power setting, yet some laptops I work with have this and it makes it hard to enter the BIOS since that is totally skipped. :/ – VarmintLP Jun 14 '22 at 09:00
