Timer to shutdown your computer


Have you ever been in a condition when you are in hurry or you have to go away from your computer but you need your computer to work for a certain time and then shutdown automatically? Had there been a case where you need to be in front of your computer for some download to complete and then shutdown?

We can set a shutdown timer after a defined time when we want to shut down our system.

You can follow the following steps.
  • Open 'Run' and Type 'shutdown -s -f -t time_in_seconds' like shown in the figure below and click 'OK' .


Your computer will shutdown at your given time.



  • To Undo or Abort it, open 'Run' and type 'shutdown -a' and click 'OK' .

This will abort your shutdown timer and you can again continue to work normally.
