Yes, Windows only shuts down the user session till only the bare core of 
the OS is remaining and then goes to hibernate. This allows for a much 
faster resume than full shutdown. So they say... ;)

Here is a link which explains how to achieve a full shut down:

the section title "How to Really Shut Down Windows 8")
