Start Automatic Shutdown Timer

Many times it happens that you want to go somewhere and some application is running on your computer which you cannot close at that instant. Now leaving the computer in on state will consume lot of energy and is not at all environment friendly method. So the solution is that you can set the timer so that your computer will automatically shutdown after the time you specify. So in this post i am going to tell you how you can set a timer for your computer without using any software with just one command.

#Method:

- Press windows key+R to open run.
- Now type:

shutdown /s /f /t time

- Replace the word time with the number of seconds after which you want your computer to shutdown automatically.
For example: if you want to shutdown computer after 1 hour then type: shutdown /s /f /t 3600
here 3600 is in seconds which means 1 hour

If for any reason you want to stop the timer so that your computer will not shutdown you can use the following command:

shutdown /a

About the commands:

/s - To shutdown
/a - To abort
/f - To force close all applications
/r - To restart
/t - To set the timer. (By default it is set to 30 seconds)
/l - To log off
/h - To hibernate

For any kind of problem feel free to ask.
