Sometimes you have to go but you don’t
want to Shutdown your Computer because you downloading games, software or any
other content. Think if you set a timer and after complete the download your
system shutdown then your problem will solve. So this is very helpful at that
situation. There is no software to install for that. Let’s check out how we can
set a timer for automatic shutdown.
- Go to Desktop --> Right click on Desktop --> Select New --> Shortcut.
- In the location box, type shutdown.exe –s –f –t seconds.
-s is the command
for shutdown.
-f is performing a
forced shutdown.
Why –f?
When shutdown, if an application stops responding,
this command will force to shut it. Using this command is not compulsory but
recommended.
-t is for
specifying the time the shutdown will take place. After you put the –t
command give a space and then enter the time in seconds.
Ex: shutdown.exe –s –f –t 120
In the above example, the computer will
shutdown after 2 Minutes.
- Click next and the shortcut will be created on the desktop. Rename it as Automatic Shutdown or whatever as your wish.
- If you want to change the time then right click on shortcut, select properties; go to Target, then change the time as required by you.
