Windows 10: Can closing laptop lid cause improper shutdown?

I'm seeing improper shutdowns in event viewer daily on my parents' new laptop, yet Dad reports no crashes. He likes to have it "shutdown" on lid close. I do see in the event viewer Xbox/Halo crashing, and Dad does say it takes a long time to quit the game. But it does seem strange that closing the lid would power the laptop off without waiting for the shutdown? I'm wondering maybe we need to enable a "force shutdown" on lid close?
