There are so many
software available that can make your PC shut down at any pre-defined
time. But have you ever wonder you can
make your PC shut down timer easily without downloading any software. You may
laugh on it as it seems so simple trick but many people still needs it. So,
here I am going to tell you two simple methods to make a PC shutdown timer.
Method 1:
This method is very simple.
You can do this by creating a shortcut file and then enter the location of
shutdown timer. Here are the steps to follow:
Right click on your
desktop and choose “New=>shortcuts”.
In the box that says
“Type the location of the shortcut”, type in ‘shutdown -s -t 3600′ without the
quotation marks and click next. (Here 3600 are the amount of seconds before
your computer shuts down.)
Make up a name for the
shortcut and you’re done.
TO ABORT this:
Once you start shutdown timer,
you will need to create another shortcut as you created earlier but this time
you will have to provide another address.
To make an abort key to
stop the shutdown timer just create another shortcut and make the ‘location of
the shortcut to ‘shutdown -a without the quotes.
Method
2:
The above method is not
so much helpful when you want your PC to shut down on a specific time. Suppose
you want to listen songs at night and you want it to stop automatically at
11:59 PM. You can simply do this by following method
·
Click on Start-> Run or Press Win+R
·
Enter the code: at 23:59 shutdown -s
·
Make sure that you enter time in 24 hour
format.
TO ABORT this:
To abort this timer, follow the same process but this
time use shutdown -a code in run.
