Instructions To Make Your Computer Shutdown At a Given Specified Time

The following method  will also help you in saving electricity too because we seldom forget to shut down our system. So let’s proceed and give your prior attention in this post.

Step 1

When you start up your system, after the booting process the first screen/window you see is desktop. Right-Click anywhere on the desktop ( excluding the icons). You will see few options there, click on the New option, another similar window will open with more options, then select  Shortcut from those options. As you can see below

Step 2

A shortcut will be created and a new window will appear that will ask “what item would you like to create a shortcut for?”

Step 3

Then in the empty bar you need to write the code that is shutdown -s -t 600. As you can see in the picture below that I have typed “shutdown -s -t 600”. Do you know why? As 60sec = 1-minute, 10*60-seconds = 600-seconds so It means the system will automatically shut down after 10 minutes. Such commands are always given in seconds.

however if you desire to set this time for 1 hour then you can estimate the time in seconds like if 10 minutes are 600-seconds then 60 minutes are 3600-seconds. As 1 Hours contains 60 minutes so for one hour you will set the time of 3600-seconds and similarly if you desire to shut down your system exactly after 5 hours then as per previous calculation 1 hour = 3600, so multiply it with 5, the answer comes 18000-seconds – for 5 hours. It’s quite a simple calculation you just need to focus on it a bit.

Step 4

Once you are done with the above steps, then you will need to save that file. You can see your newly created shortcut on the desktop, double click it and you will get the notification on the task-bar regarding your shutdown time.
