3 Ways to Make Auto Shutdown on Windows (Without Applications)
Computer users must be familiar with the term shutdown. This term relates to the process of turning off the computer. This process is very important to do, in order to prevent damage to the components contained in the computer. That way, when the computer is no longer in use, the computer should be turned off immediately through the shutdown feature that has been provided.
However, there are still users who sometimes forget to turn off this computer for various reasons. For example, falling asleep while using a laptop so that the laptop is left on all night. This will cause the laptop to become damaged or die quickly without proper procedures. Or in other words, you are lazy to turn off the computer manually.
Have you ever thought about doing an automatic shutdown? You can set at certain times your computer or laptop should be turned off immediately. In fact, windows has provided an auto shutdown feature to meet your needs. So, there is no longer any reason not to turn off the computer.
Well, this time I will explain how to make an auto shutdown on a computer or laptop with a windows operating system. Of course, this method is very easy for you to do without having to install additional applications. Come on, see the explanation below.
How to Make Auto Shutdown on Windows
As explained earlier that when the computer or laptop is not turned off through the shutdown feature that has been provided, it will have a bad impact on the computer itself, for example causing bad sectors on the hard drive. Therefore, here I will explain three methods that you can apply to make auto shutdown.
#1 How to Make Auto Shutdown Using Command Prompt
The first way you can do to make auto shutdown in windows is by using CMD. By using CMD, we can type a code to run certain commands. For more details, here are the steps.
1. First, please open Command Prompt contained on your computer. Here I will open CMD through a search in the Start Menu.
2. After the CMD window appears, type the command in it “shutdown /s /t /f time”.
Information :
- shutdown : command to shut down the computer.
- /s : command to execute shutdown command on system.
- /f (optional): command to do “Force Stop” or keep shutdown even though there are still programs running.
- /t time : command to perform the desired delay to perform the auto shutdown process (in seconds).
3. Press Enter. Then a dialog will appear that the system has scheduled a sign out according to the command typed.
#2 How to Make Auto Shutdown Using RUN
The second method is simpler to do. You just use the RUN feature provided by windows.
1. To do this, open RUN via the Start Menu or simply press the button WINDOWS + R on the keyboard.
2. Next, type the same command that was typed in CMD, namely “shutdown -s -t 600”. Then, press Enter.
3. Finally, the system will schedule (task) sign out for 10 minutes, because the delay time entered is 600 (600 seconds = 10 minutes).
#3 How to Make Auto Shutdown Using Task Scheduler
Finally, we will take advantage of the Windows default program, namely: Task Scheduler to make a schedule to auto shutdown the computer.
1. Do a search Task Scheduler contained on your computer.
2. In the panel on the right, you will find options Create Basic Task. Select the option.
3. Then the Create Basic Task window will appear, fill in the action pane in the following wizard section. Name to create a task name, Description to create a description of the task. Then, click Next.
4. Select the time you want to apply this scheduling. For example, Daily to implement daily scheduling. Then, click Next.
5. Continue filling in the date and time to start when the scheduling will run. For example, here I will turn off the computer at 8 pm. After that, click Next.
6. In the Action window, select an option Start a program. And click Next.
7. Click the button Browse to locate the shutdown.exe file stored in the system. Don’t forget to add the -s argument to execute the command.
8. Finally, detailed information about the schedule that you have created will appear. And click Finish to save the schedule. The system will execute the scheduling according to the specified date and time.
That’s 3 ways you can do to make auto shutdown in windows. To stop the action in the first and second way, you can type the same code, namely “shutdown -a”.
Please choose which way you want. Importantly, make sure that your computer or laptop is turned off when not in use. Hopefully the article above is useful and you can try it right away.
