Win10 started playing all kinds of games with true shutdown vs. some kind of "deep suspend" - I'm pretty sure they were trying to improve "boot time" without actually having to *improve boot time,* but it was immensely counterproductive since NT has always leaked memory like a sieve and a full reboot is the only way to clear it up. I think they walked back some of the shenanigans in later updates, but on early revisions of 10 it was practically impossible to get it to perform a clean shutdown without holding in the power button 'til the machine itself cut out, though invoking shutdown from the command line sometimes seemed to work.
