Windows will just straight up lie too
I wouldn't really call it lying, because in the eyes of the computer it never shut down, it's an intended "feature": shutting down doesn't actually cold stop the system, by default it has what is called hybrid shutdown or fast boot. When you click shutdown it saves your current kernel and running drivers into the hibernation file, so when you power back on it just loads that instead of having to start everything again and then reinits the drivers as if they were just started. This speeds up the process, but also can cause issues along the way.
You need to either shut it down using the /s flag in cmd prompt, or actually select restart. It's super obnoxious and outdated in a world where HDD's are becoming outdated.
It’s the Microsoft way! Haha
