Planned Shutdown Windows

Did you ever have the need to leave home and can not turn off the computer because maybe you were being a critical task like downloading an update, a 'transaction or even defrag a scan of your system by the 'antivirus? Surely there you felt obliged to leave your PC on in vain for a lot of hours even when the current operation would require no more than a half hour ...
In fact Windows incorporates a feature to manage the planned shutdown, except that you can run only from the command line: this fact certainly does not help to make it easily identifiable and usable by everyone.

In any case the next time you have this kind of need to proceed as follows:

  • Select "Start => Run ..."
  • In the box that appears, type "shutdown-s-t [wait time in seconds]"
  • You will know it has launched the command correctly when you will see a small box that shows the wait time before shutdown

For example, if you want your PC to shut down automatically after an hour you have to type: shutdown-s-t 3600.
Just be aware that, once launched, the shutdown command can not be canceled!

    Hello, you can program the shutdown in this way: at 00:00 shutdown / s / t 00

    Instead of 00:00 puts it 's time in which you want to turn off your PC.

    Bye Bye
