Shut Down PC at a Specific Time

Maybe you are going out or you are downloading something but you don’t want to watch your download.

This is how to shut down your PC at a certain time, without the need of you being there.

First Here is the code:

AT 12:00 Shutdown -s

It’s as simple as that. That code will shut down your PC at 12 o’clock. Change the 12:00 to whatever time you want, remember it must be in a 24 hour clock format.

If you want to just run this, go to Start > Run
Then paste that code in.

If you want to create a shortcut for quick use. Open notepad, paste in the code, Save as Shutdown.bat or whatever you want to call it, make sure it’s a .BAT file. Then just run the batch file & there you have it.

It’s invisible but if you want to view the shutdown you can go to Start > Programs > Accessories > System tools > Scheduled Tasks

There you can delete or edit it.
