I'm trying to mount a hard drive from a Windows 10 machine in Linux. Apparently Windows 10 (and 8) use a 'fast boot' option by default so it never fully shuts down, and instead goes into a hibernation mode which is preventing it from being mounted.
I am unable to log into the Windows partition, and have been unable to find a way to force windows to fully shut down (not hibernate) from the log in screen. Basic searching informs me of a way to mount the drive in read-only mode, but I need read-write access.

Tell Windows to restart (not shut down), and turn the computer off when it beeps.

That allowed me to mount it, thank you very much. :>

you also could have probably unplugged it

Nope. NTFS volume is marked as dirty when the OS boots, and clean when it shuts down properly.
Just pulling the plug would result in a Windows not using hybrid boot (good) on a volume that's marked as needing crash recovery (bad).
