The full text from the commit log is:

    recent releases of
    Windows do not really shut down, but rather log out and hibernate to
    make the next startup faster.  Hence, this manifested as a more serious
    hang during shutdown with e.g. Windows 8.1 and virtio-win 1.8.0 RPMs.

Shutdown in the commit log just means "clicking Shut down".  The previous
sentence explains why.  Also note the "e.g.", I've not tested other versions
of Windows.
