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 an user. This resuming of services/drivers is much faster compare 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 – 2016-08-05T08:34:52.697
6Another option is to hold Shift while clicking the shutdown.button. This also performs a "real" shutdown. – Jakube – 2016-08-05T08:59:11.203
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 – 2016-08-05T11:12:48.040
@Shadur that bothered me for months and months until I finally figured it out! – AmazingDreams – 2016-08-05T14:04:26.957
1More specifically, you can only mount hibernating Windows drives as read-only in Linux without using dark majicks. – Schism – 2016-08-05T16:24:04.683
