Look up 'Fast Startup'. It's a thing since Windows 8. It's a curse onto humanity.

This once really scared me once on a dual boot system. I had “shut down” windows and while using Linux I did some partitioning as I had run out of space on the efi partition which had originally been created by the windows 7 installer. Worked fine for a while until the next time I “booted” windows which appeared to load the partition layout from the hibernated memory which caused a bunch of data corruption
