Windows 10 Shutting down, Doesn't fully Shutdown Computrer

buzzbored · 17 Sep 2015

I have 7 or 8 computers around the house, most dual boot Windows 10 pro x64 and Linux. When you shutdown a Windows machine and start a Linux machine there are errors and Linux won't boot (The HDD's weren't shutdown properly ~ the OS's have there own SSD's && share a data drive, this is the drive that registers the error). You have to boot windows and shutdown from a cmd 'shutdown.exe /s /t 0' or similar. Is there a way to set windows to actually shutdown with the standard gui shutdown routine?

Try disabling fast startup - see Brink's tutorial: https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/4...dows-10-a.html

Thank You, Word Man. I don't use windows much anymore and this was driving my daughter and I nuts. Fastboot it was. Does that 'cache' a session like hibernation, leave an on bit in the file system?

Something to that effect - don't have a fully technical grasp of it. But, it's a common enough problem that I've seen it have plenty enough negative effects even beyond what you've experienced. I don't trust it at all for my wife's spinner disk laptop or my SSD laptop and cleared that right off the bat after installing Win 10.
