Dec 31, 2014 at 0:27 comment added Bill The Ape @Matt You were right. The problem indeed lied elsewhere: disabling fast startup + shutdown /f /s /t 0 was sufficient for Windows 7. It is no longer sufficient for Windows 8.1. In addition to what's required for Windows 7, Windows 8.1 requires one more step: powercfg /h off

Dec 30, 2014 at 4:30 comment added Bill The Ape @root shutdown /f /s /t 0 doesn't work either. Something must have changed in either Ubuntu 14.04 or Windows 8.1 since this answer was posted.
Dec 30, 2014 at 4:24 comment added Bill The Ape @Matt I tried shutdown /s /t 0. This doesn't work. This is despite me disabling fast boot prior to that. I can only mount that NTFS partition RO.
Aug 1, 2014 at 17:06 comment added Matthew Sainsbury I believe shutdown /s /t 0 is sufficient... no need to use force
