The best way to shutdown your windows computer is to install Linux.

That's exactly what I've gone and done.
Needless to say I've not been woken up @2-4am when the PC powers itself up and sends the fans to infinity/turning all the lights on.
Fuck windows to the moon, now I just gotta figure out why steam only launches stuff 50% of the time.

Me too. And by having Linux in my primary boot, I mostly guarantee windows can't wake itself up after I shut it down. :D

I had the same idea while I was setting up my dual-boot.

Sure, until the next update, when they forcibly enable it again.

If you want to turn off hibernation for good you can do so with an elevated prompt.
powercfg.exe /hibernate offOtherwise you want to turn off fast start up, which should avoid the hibernation/shutdown you're talking about.

The fast start up option actually should still be under power options, though not really intuitive or easy to find.
Look for the part that says "Choose what the power buttons do" and it should be there.I tend to just turn hibernation all off because I don't really use it, and I'd typically rather have the space hiberfil.sys takes up.

i heard you gotta wait until it tells you it's safe to turn off your computer.

If you hold the shift key when you press "shut down" it'll fully shut down.
