They are not the same thing at all.

The close from the window list is a request to the application to close
itself. The application can chose to honor to the request or do something
else. Well behaved apps clean up nicely

The shutdown routine used by CAD is absolute. The applications are not
given a choice. They are asked to shutdown. If they don't, the kernel
does it for them and closed any open files. Once the applications are
killed, any cached data still in memory is flushed to the disk and the
drive is released and marked clean.

The CAD shutdown is reliable, but nothing is perfect, so it can fail.
Where it fails will determine which drives will need to be chkdsk'ed.

Well, if chkdsk ran against the drive when you rebooted, it was marked
dirty, so by definition it was in use. You need to determine why.
