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 a user. This resuming of services/drivers is much faster compared 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.

6Another option is to hold Shift while clicking the shutdown.button. This also performs a "real" shutdown.– JakubeAug 5, 2016 at 8:59

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. Aug 5, 2016 at 11:12

1More specifically, you can only mount hibernating Windows drives as read-only in Linux without using dark majicks.– SchismAug 5, 2016 at 16:24
