It should be a real shutdown.

To bypass the hybrid shutdown/boot process, do a command-line shutdown (e.g., shutdown.exe /s /f /t 00).
With Windows 8, “off” isn’t really off
Why Win8 doesn’t fully power down by default

Thanks Linney, that's what I was looking for. The "f" does make a difference - it takes a lot longer to shut down. Cold start up doesn't seem to take much longer though!
So I wonder - what's the REAL purpose? <grin> Can a few seconds make it worth all the changes to NOT shut down comepletely?

Do you have a solid state drive by chance? SSD's make the difference negligible. But for others who are still on an old-fashioned hard drive, the seconds can really add up. Also, the more hardware devices you have installed/attached, the more complex the kernel portion of the operating system becomes. It might just be that in your case, there's not much benefit to hibernating the kernel. Everyone's mileage will vary.
This article really goes into detail:
By the way, the "Force" parameter (/f) isn't the difference between a full shutdown and a hybrid shutdown. That parameter will force running processes which are stalling at shutdown to close. I always use it myself in case a process hangs, but even if /f is left out, the shutdown command will still perform a full shutdown. You can always tell for sure when you turn the workstation back on. If you see the BIOS or POST screen, you'll know a full shutdown was performed.

No, it's a regular H.D.
I also use a shortcut for reboot: xxx shutdown.exe -r -t 00
THis causes a reboot, but comes up with a full BIOS screen!
From the time that the Bios screen comes on, there is no difference between reboot, and coldboot.

Right, there shouldn't be a difference between a cold boot and a reboot after the BIOS screen. That's normal.
And yes, anytime you call "shutdown.exe" with the -r or -s switch, the system will perform a full reboot or shutdown (respectively).

Wow never knew it didn't shutdown properly, and it is still the same in 8.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1
