Yes that's the PC doing it's job. The small surge of power that goes into the PC tells it to go into 'recovery mode' as if the power had been interrupted. So it turns on and scans itself to try and recover what you were doing before the power was cut.
You should be powering down the PC by shutting it down in the start menu though.
