How to shutdown completely windows 8, because this "shutdown" command only hibernates , and some programs just don't like it, and don't run until I restart the pc... is there a way to change the "shutdown" function for it to really shutdown the pc (like the restart function already does) ?

1Are you asking how to programatically shutdown windows? If so, please add a tag to indicate what language you are using, and post your current code. If not, this question is off-topic and should be posted to SuperUser.com – RB. Feb 22 '13 at 11:04

There should be three options for you when you click the power button: Restart, Sleep and shutdown. Shutdown works exactly the way its supposed to. Not exactly sure what you are describing there. Sleep works as "hibernate". – absurdrefusal Feb 22 '13 at 11:04

See answers to How do I shutdown Windows 8?, Software shutdown does not work in Windows 8 and many more questions posted by people who couldn't locate the shutdown button anymore in Win8, or were confused by the new Fast Startup/Hybrid Boot options. A shortcut to shutdown.exe will do what you want, or you can turn it off as detailed here and here. – Karan Feb 22 '13 at 18:40

Control Panel > Power Options > Change what the power buttons do
Under 'Shutdown settings'
Uncheck 'Turn on fast start-up'

For the -real- shutdown run CMD (as admin) then "shutdown /s /t 2". Leave out the quotes, of course. The "/S" tells the computer to completely power off. The "/t 2" is the delay before shutdown begins. You can change the delay time to nearly any number of seconds you want.

This doesn't explain how to disable hybrid shutdown which is the author's question. – Ramhound Feb 22 '13 at 19:42
