Windows 8 - not suspendig on host restart and shutdown #12

Virtual machine running in headless mode. If I shut down windows (or restart - no difference), my vm in not suspended. When windows start again, vboxtray starts with windows too and powers my vm like it has to be. But my guest is starting from power off state (not suspended). I guess windows kills virtualbox process first, before vboxtray tries to suspend it. it is bad, bacause i need to suspend my machine by myself, and always to remember that i need to do it manualy.

also i run everything from regular user (not admin).

How do you think, is it posible to make some workaround for windows 8 host?
