Introduction
Automatic shutdown in Windows 10 is one of the
features of the Windows operating system, which makes your computer safe and
secure. Generally, we prefer our system to properly shutdown every time to
lengthen the operating system's life. But sometimes, when you work on your
computer late at night, it is really hard to remember to shut down your
computer; in those cases, you should use the automatic shutdown scheduler on
your computer.
This tutorial will show you various ways to
Schedule Automatic Shutdown in Windows 10.
Method 1. Auto Shutdown via Run
Follow the instructions below to proceed.
Step 1. From
the Start menu, open the Run dialog box, or you can Press the "Window +
R" key to open the RUN window.
Step 2. Type
"shutdown -s -t <number in seconds>" and press Enter Key.
For example,
if you want to shut down your PC/laptop after 10 minutes, then type- shutdown
-s -t 600.
In this example, 600 represents the number of seconds, so in
this example, your computer will turn off automatically after 10 minutes. You
can experiment by taking the different values and setting the one you want.
After finishing this setting, the system will prompt you about
the auto-shutdown time, as shown in the following screenshot.
