Windows Unable to Shutdown or Sleep when Booted from GRUB

I wasn't sure which subforum to ask this in, so I'll just ask in the Newbie Corner.

If I boot Windows through GRUB, I am unable to shutdown or sleep. When I go to BIOS and boot override to Windows, it works fine. My setup is a GPT partition table with UEFI, and my GRUB entry for Windows looks like:

menuentry 'Windows Boot Manager (on /dev/sda1)' --class windows --class os $menuentry_id_option 'osprober-efi-6153-75DD' {
    insmod part_gpt
    insmod fat
    set root='hd0,gpt1'
    if [ x$feature_platform_search_hint = xy ]; then
      search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root --hint-ieee1275='ieee1275//disk@0,gpt1' --hint-bios=hd0,gpt1 --hint-efi=hd0,gpt1 --hint-baremetal=ahci0,gpt1  6153-75DD
    else
      search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 6153-75DD
    fi
    chainloader /EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi
}

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I ensured fastboot was disabled, but, unfortunately, it seems to have not fixed the issue.
