Dual boot Windows 8 and Fedora 17 - Windows wont shutdown

[glock356]

Hello!

I have Windows 8 Enterprise Evaluation and Fedora 17, both OS are 64 bit, on dual boot.
Windows and Fedora work OK, with one problem - i can not shotdown computer from Windows.
When i hit Shutdown, computer begin shutdown, but there is no shutdown, only return me on windows login screen.
Restart is OK, shutdown from Fedora also OK.

This problem only appears on dual boot Win8 - Fedora 17, on dual boot with other distros windows shutdown normaly, also dual boot Fedora - Win7.

Bootloader is installed on dev/sda(where is windows installed)

What does the Windows 8 screen "Choose what the power buttons do" show ?

Some users have noticed problems if they installed Fedora after Windows 8. Please see this link It will provide you with more information. Good Luck, you might have to do more research with windows 8 and fedora. I myself, do not like dual booting so I can't help you much!

yes windows 8 is messing with your bios to allow for there fast startup scheme.. so there shutdown is more like a hibernate.

you can go to the command line in windows and use

shutdown /r /o

maybe write a batch file with the command as a shortcut.
