How to set a computer shutdown time. How to turn off the computer at a certain time and not one. Using the PC Auto Shutdown program

Developer of the operating system Windows It is possible to schedule. As such, the shutdown buttons indicating the parameters does not exist. To do this, use the command line and other regular (built-in) means Windows. This method is especially good because it works always and everywhere, since it is developed and provided directly to the developer itself by the operating system. Verified on Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8.1

Who is not interested in the theory, can immediately go to the sections:

Turning off or restarting computer on schedule
(At a specified time) full-time (built-in) Windows tools

Scheduled
(At a specified time) from the command line (MS DOS)

From time immemorial, the package of all operating systems of the MS Windows family includes a disk operating system (abbreviated - MS DOS.), which is not familiar user interface For the "Batzan" on it with the mouse. MS DOS control is performed by keyboard introduction text teams in a special window, in the so-called command line . The command line works on any computer under the control of any modification of the MS Windows operating system.

In the operating system MS WindowsFrom the command line you can do absolutely everything, for which this system is capable.

TO omandy string You can call one way:

• press the key combination Win + R.introduce cmd.exe., click OK
• "Start\u003e execute menu", enter cmd.exe., click OK
• "Start\u003e Menu\u003e All Programs\u003e Standard\u003e Command Line"

In any case, the window opens MS DOS.
(Command line to enter the text command)
It is in it (on the command line) we will:

1. turn on and off the countdown to
   shutdown or rebooting a computer
   (i.e. indicate how much time action)
2. assign and cancel accurate for
   shutdown or rebooting a computer
   (i.e. indicate when it is to perform an action)

All manipulations are referred to to file shutdown.exe.
and to specify the desired parameters

SHUTDOWN command parameters and syntax
(To access the shutdown.exe file)

File shutdown.exe. responsible for turning off the operating system Windows, It is rebooted, etc. To get a list of file start settings shutdown.exe. From the command line - click the keyboard key Win + R., in the window that opens, enter cmd.exe. (go to MS DOS) and already in the DOS-Ovsky window (manually) introduce " shutdown /?"(Without quotes). Click "OK" (key "ENTER"). In response, the system will issue full list Team parameters shutdown.:

As for the syntax of the parameters for the command shutdown.T. MS DOS. Understands both options for recording - and through a hyphen (a minus sign " - " on the numeric keypad) And through the layer (oblique line on the numeric keypad):

1. shutdown / S / F / T 2000 equivalent shutdown -s -f -t 2000
2. aT 23:15 Shutdown / R / F equivalent at 23:15 shutdown -r -f

In our case, there is no fundamental difference between the slash and the hyphen. Much more important to remember the layout of spaces (Space). Since, in understanding the operating system, flash is equal to the hyphen with a space , without a space - may not work.

For example, on the screenshot at the top, I put the commands in turn " shutdown-?"And" shutdown -?", as well as " shutdown /?"And" shutdown /?" The response of the system is obvious.

Simplified Enter Shutdown Team
(window "Run")

To turn on or off the countdown timer - open the "Run" window ( Win + R. OK.

Time to turn off (reboot) Computer must be administered in seconds.

The correct command entry is confirmed by the corresponding pop-ups in the tray. Pop-up windows should appear after each proper command introduction. They look like this:

	System reaction to the Turn off or restart the computer through 33min \u003d 2000 seconds
	System reaction to the command on the cancellation of the command to turn off or restart the computer
	10 minutes before the task is fulfilled, the system begins to remind the immediate end of the countdown. The reminder form may have several options. Probably depends on the version of Windows and style style.
	A few minutes before the task is completed, the system notifies the immediate end of the countdown.

Install from the command line
Current time of the current date
To turn off and restart the computer

Setting the exact time current date From it allows you to assign the exact time of the current date to turn off or restart the computer. This task will be fulfilled only once, after which the task assignment procedure will need to be repeated. If it is necessary that the computer systematically turned on the schedule (at the same time), then you need to use or

To set the exact time of the current date to turn off or restart the computer - open the "Run" window ( Win + R.), enter the desired command and click OK.

Turning off (reboot) the computer must be entered in the specified format.
Time values \u200b\u200bnaturally have their own.

Unlike the installation, the correct command input when assigning the shutdown time or restarting the computer is not confirmed by the corresponding pop-up windows in the tray.

From the command line it is convenient to create Disposable Task to turn off or restart the computer. If a systematic shutdown is required on a scheduled computer (for example, at a specified time, at the end of the working day), then you need to set off the time after or through

Turning off and restarting the computer
Using the executive (batch) file

Executive (batch) files with expansion .bat. () Makes much easier with the command line. Once by creating such a BAT file with the text of the desired command, you can perform it with a simple click on the batch file, without a tiring call, the command line window and enter the text text.

Recall the list of our teams and create the corresponding batch files:

1. shutdown / S / F / T 2000or shutdown -s -f -t 2000
   (turn off the computer through 33min \u003d 2000 seconds)
2. shutdown / R / F / T 2000or shutdown -R -F -T 2000
   (Reload the computer through 33min \u003d 2000 seconds)
3. aT 23:15 Shutdown / S / For aT 23:15 Shutdown -S -f
   (Turn off the computer today, at 23:15)
4. aT 23:15 Shutdown / R / For at 23:15 shutdown -r -f
   (Reload the computer today, at 23:15)
5. shutdown / A.or shutdown -a.
   (Cancel off on / rebooting a computer)

To create an executive (batch) batch file - open a notebook, copy (write) to it the desired team string and save the file with extension.Bat. For the example, create two files - "Turning off.bat" file and the "Cancel .Bat" file. In the first file we write the string " shutdown / S / F / T 2000"(Without quotes), in the second line" shutdown / A."(Without quotes). Click on the first file will give a command to turn off the computer through 33min \u003d 2000 seconds. Click on the second file will cancel the command for turning off the computer through 33min \u003d 2000 seconds. Thus, we will get two files, clicking on which we will have the same effect as if you call the necessary command in it.

It's very simple, and is much more convenient than the command line. So, this method gives space for fantasy flight and creative thought. For example, you can set the timeout at 28800 seconds. (28800 sec \u003d 8 hours \u003d working day length), put the "Turning off.bat" file into the computer's startup folder and no longer worry about shutting down at the end of the working day. Because, every time, when loading the system, it will receive a command to turn off after 8 hours \u003d 28800 seconds. The same effect will give an executive .Bat file in the autoload, with the content " aT 17:00 Shutdown / S / F"(Without quotes). Moreover, this command is even preferable because it sets the exact time of the computer shutdown and does not depend on the number of reboots during the working day.

Joke. If you set in the BAT file, in the startup folder, the timeout is 180 seconds., Then the computer will turn off 3 minutes after its launch.

Turning off and restarting the computer
At a specified time through the task scheduler

Task Scheduler - Special Chip Windows. Task Scheduler allows you to create and perform various scheduled tasks. In our case, it is systematically turned off or restart the computer in specified time. In contrast, the task scheduler allows you to more flexibly assign the exact time and frequency of the computer.

To set off or restart the computer at a specified time through the task scheduler - open the task scheduler. It is located in "Start\u003e Menu\u003e All Programs\u003e Standard\u003e Officers\u003e Task Scheduler"

Then, in the window that opens, write the name of the task and its description. Here you can write everything that your heart. The name of the task and its description will then be displayed in the middle column of the scheduler after creating a task. I wrote a name - "shutdown", description - "Turn off the computer" and pressed the "Next" button ...

In the next window that opens, you need to select the frequency of the task. I chose - "Daily". "Further"...

In the next window that opens, you need to specify the date with which to start performing the task and the time of its execution. By default, the current date and time values \u200b\u200bare detected. Date can be left unchanged (start today), but you need to put your time. This will be the desired computer shutdown time. I set 17:00:00, which corresponds to the end of my working day. The string "repeat every 1 day" - left unchanged. "Further"...

In the next window that opens, you need to install a switch (Checkbox) against the words "Run the program". "Further"...

In the next window that opens, in the "Program or Scenario" line, we enter the command " shutdown."(Without quotes), and in the" Add Arguments "field" -s -f."(Without quotes) - to turn off. If you need to restart the computer, then in the "Add Arguments" field, we enter " -R -F."(Without quotes). "Further"...

Click the "Finish" button. Task by daily shutdown of computer at 17:00 - Created and running. Check work or delete task as follows. We run the scheduler, click on the "job scheduler library" and in the middle column we find the desired task (by name). Right-click on it and select the desired menu in the drop-down menu.

To check, I clicked on "execute". The computer responded instantly. Works, Hurray!

Turning off the computer
Turn off the computer from the command line

Processing a computer of large amounts of data requires a time that an employed person is not excess. Some operations, such as: Rendering video, checking the system of antivirus, downloading files from the Internet is performed without user participation, but not all programs can offer a system shutdown function in automatic mode.

Many ordinary users are asked: how to perform automatic shutdown Computer by analogy with the shutdown timer on household appliances ( washer, microwave, etc.)? Our article will consider the basic options for using this regime with standard tools and using third-party software In Windows 7 and 10.

The ability to automatically turn off the computer was provided in advance in the earliest Windows OS. This method implies work with the main system interface - a command line. It is universal for any version of Windows and is the easiest to use.

To do this, perform next steps:

1. Go to the menu "Start / Programs / Standard" and choose the program "Command line" Either enter the name in the search string.

1. In the console we enter the command "Shutdown". A certificate will appear on the screen indicating the parameters and the corresponding arguments.

For the usual shutdown of the computer, we use two arguments:

• "/ S" - completion of the PC;
• "/ T" - The countdown timer time until the task is executed (indicated in seconds).

1. For example, you need that the computer completes its work in half an hour. Without leaving the console, we prescribe the "Shutdown -S -t 1800" command and click "Enter".

Attention! The team must be without quotes.

Immediately after activating the auto discontinuity of the computer on the panel windows management There is an indication of the remaining time.

1. To cancel this action, enter through command line « shutdown -a ".

There is a more simplified way to activate this mode without resorting to the input of characters in the console. To do this in the menu search bar "Start" We are prescribed "Shutdown -s -t (time in seconds)" and confirm the action key « ENTER ».

Disabling the auto power desk on Windows is made in the same way.

Using job scheduler

Task Scheduler is a standard Windows tool that can be useful if you plan to turn off the computer at a specific time and date. It is still used for interval (regularly repeated) actions. For example, you want your computer to disable yourself every day at 17:00 or rebooted every 12 hours.

As an example, we will show how to put a daily autotrunner of the computer at 17:00.

To take advantage of the scheduler, you need:

1. Go to "Start / Control Panel / Administration or "Programs / Standard / Service" and launch "Task Scheduler". Even easier - write this name in the search string in the "start".

In the window that opens, create a simple task by clicking on the same button.

1. A task creation wizard will appear, which consists of several stages. On the first you need to come up with a name. We will write "auto power off". After Zhmame "Further".

1. In the trigger item, you must specify the task launch interval. We choose "Daily".

There you need to specify the time and date of triggering the trigger.

1. On the menu "Act" The user specifies the process to occur after the trigger is turned on. We need a parameter "Run the program".

1. The name of the program - « shutdown ». In the field for arguments we write «- s -f " (Through the gap without quotes).

In the last window, we can double the conditions and parameters specified by us and click the button. "Ready".

Automatic shutdown The computer will occur at a specified time independently of the operation being performed, loading or other conditions. This method is useful as a safety net (if a person forgot to turn off the PC in the workplace) or parental control (limit the time of staying children in front of the monitor).

Timer shutdown Anvidelabs

After standard means, Windows we turn to the review of the small and simplest in the management of the utility "Timer of shutdown" from the domestic developer AnvideLabs.

How to use?

Today we told you about how to configure the automatic shutdown of the computer tools using Windows and using utilities downloaded on the Internet. This feature Relevant for everyone without exception in the office and at home. The only question is how to do it.

In our article, we have led many ways to implement the auto power desk PC. They are all good, but some may be more or less suitable for a particular person.

If the user has experience with the Windows system and knows how to configure it, then it will be preferable to control the auto-disconnection through the standard CMD console and the task scheduler. Plus such a solution in the absence of the need to download and install third-party programs, as well as in a wide functionality windows scheduler.

For inexpressible and unpretentious people, we advise you to select "Timer off" and TimePC. A small functionality is compensated by the presence of a clear description and sufficiently convenient management.

All the rest who do not want to dig in the control panels, but needs to be accurately tuning the system, we recommend using Switch OFF. A large list of pre-installed tasks, a new task designer and command editor makes from this unpretentious professional manager utility.

Automatic disconnection of the computer - the function is extremely important and useful, despite its simplicity. Thanks to its presence, you can float under the sounds of your favorite Internet radio station, IPTV or gather to work under the wretched tracks, leaving the computer after exiting the computer included in solid confidence that after downloading the right file From torrent tracker or the end of the scan to search for viruses, it will turn off independently, while saving electricity and component resources that long work Without a break, too, contraindicated.

In some programs (for example, in such as Nero), there is an auto-disconnect immediately after the completion of the "burning" process of the disk, but what to do if this option is not provided? There are several ways to configure automatic shutdown as using built-in windows 7 and using third-party gadgets. Consider them in more detail.

Method One: Configuring autotluts with built-in system

Method of the second: setting up autotrunction with the help of a "task scheduler"

The method of the third: setting the autotrunnel with gadgets and third-party

For the Windows 7 operating system exists a large number of All sorts of gadgets, allowing you to conveniently configure the automatic PC shutdown. Advantage of similar third-party utilities In that they allow you to skip the algorithm, mandatory when using the built-in OS resources. To all of the time they are undemanding to the "gland" of the PC, and with their help can always be aware of how long cPU currently how much free random access memory, what level wi-Fi signal and bandwidth wireless networks, as well as take advantage of the functions of the calendar and scheduler.

In case you absolutely do not need all this optional functionality, you can download and install on Windows 7 one of the simplest gadgets, such as " Turn off. PC. "

It has three buttons and a window where the time is set through which, in fact, the PC will turn off. The "weight" of the application takes several megabytes, so in order to download and install a similar utility, will leave only a couple of minutes. It is even completely inexperienced to get used in it.

It often happens so that the user needs to turn off the computer not right now, but after a certain time. For example, the system updates or a very large file will not be installed.

Windows tools

If you need to turn off PC on timer better decision There will be built-in windows tools. In particular, their use is based on the Shutdown command and task scheduler.

Using the shutdown command to turn off the computer at a certain time

To enter the command, you need to press the Win + R keys and in the input field, which will appear on the screen, enter the following:

shutdown. -S. -T. 3600 / F.

Where the variables after the command are responsible for the following:

• s - turning off the computer;
• t - Specifying time in seconds, after which the device will be turned off. The team from above is 3600 seconds, that is, one hour. Instead, the value can be substituted with any other, having previously calculated it in secondary terms;
• f is the first letter of the word forced - forcibly. Allows OC to complete all working applications so that they do not interfere with the shutdown of the device.

After executing the command, the notification will be displayed on the screen in which the time is specified through which the PC will be turned off. If you suddenly need to cancel this operation, you need to enter Win + R again and dial the following command to:

shutdown. -A.

This command deactivates the computer shutdown at a specific time.

This program comes in windows versions 7 and higher. It allows you to quickly create a PC off schedule.

C: \\ Windows \\ System32 \\ shutdown.exe

And in the argument selection field fits the following:

Using a BAT file to disable PC

You can also use the BAT file to disable PCs. To activate, it will be enough twice to click on it with the mouse.

It will be necessary to create it. This is done in the notebook, where the following values \u200b\u200bare introduced:

@echo off.

iF% Time% \u003d\u003d 01: 00: 00.00 Goto: b

shutdown..exe / S. / F. / T. 60 / C. "Any text that the user considers it necessary"

• the file that was created is required to save, giving it the name shutdown.bat;
• need to activate it by clicking;
• after activation, the command line will jump out to be collapsed and continuing;
• During which it was set (in the example of the night of the night) the system will display a notification of the disable device and the PC is deactivated;
• to change the disabling time, you must enter instead of the numbers "01: 00: 00.00" another value.

Turning off the PC at a specified time using programs

Special programs can also help set off the Schedule Device.

Using the PC Auto Shutdown program

This utility allows you to turn off the PC at a specified time. To use it you need to download installation file. From the official site, run and do the following:

• find the Timer Tittle string, where you want to enter the name of the action, as well as select the SHUTDOWN ACTION function;
• specify time;
• at the bottom of the window, you must mark the Activate Daily At The Above Time and click the OK button.

A more advanced utility, thanks to which you can configure a set of parameters for deferred PC management. You can also organize the execution of these operations on a regular basis. The program issues a warning to turn off the device 5 minutes before the computer is directly shutdown.

To begin with, in the application window you need to select a task, the regularity of its execution (Daily - every day, from now - starting from this point, on IDLE - when system is idle) or activate only once (Specified Time).

Other programs for scheduled computer shutdown

Other utilities can help to turn off the computer on a schedule. They are quite a lot and all of them have similar functionality, so each user will be able to choose the option for itself and easily understand it.

Share.

Turning off the Timeru computer is a very typical task that many users face. However, not everyone knows how this task can be solved. In this article, we will tell about how to turn off the computer on the timer in Windows 7, 8, 10 and XP. To solve this task, we will use the command line, task scheduler and third-party programs.

Turn off the touch computer using the command line

The easiest I. fast way Turn off the Timera computer This is used by the Shutdown command, which works equally well in Windows 7, and in the other versions of Windows. This command You can perform from the command line or using the "Run" menu.

The ShutDown command has many parameters that allow you to finely configure the process of turning off the computer. Below we will look at the most basic ones:

• / s - turning off the computer;
• / h - transition to hibernation mode;
• / F - Forced completion of all open programs without a user warning;
• / T - Installation Timer in seconds.

In order to turn off the touch computer using the ShutDown command, we need to use the / s parameters and / t (Timer Setting). Thus, the command to turn off the computer will look like this:

• Shutdown / S / T 60

After executing such a command through the command line or the "Run" menu, the computer will turn off after 60 seconds.

If you want to restart the computer by timer, then instead of the / s parameter you need to use the / R. The same with the mode of hibernation. Using / H instead of / s and computer instead of inclusion, go into hibernation mode. You can also add a parameter / f. In this case, turning off (reboot, hibernation) will begin immediately, and all running programs will be closed without a user warning.

The disadvantage of this method of turning off the computer is that the switching task is created only at once. If you need to turn off the computer on the timer daily, then you need to use a task or program scheduler from third-party developers.

Use the Planner to turn off the Timela Computer

In operating rooms windows systems 7, 8, 10 and XP A very powerful tool called "Task Scheduler" is available. You can use it to turn off the computer on the timer. To open the task scheduler, run the Start menu (or startout screen With tiles, if you use Windows 8) and enter a job scheduler search. Also, the task scheduler can be launched using the Taskschd.msc command.

After starting the task scheduler, click on the "Create a simple task" button. This button is located on the right side of the window.

Further we offer to specify when we want to perform this task. You can choose "once" if you want to turn off the touch computer only once. If you need to turn off the computer by timer daily or otherwise, you can choose another, more suitable for you.

At the next step, you need to specify the triggering of this task.

After that, we need to enter the ShutDown command as well as the startup parameters. About how the startup parameters are used above mentioned above.

All, the task of turning off the computer on the timer is created. You can view it in the task library.

From the context menu (right click mouse) you can manage the created task.

You can execute, complete, disable, delete or open the task properties.

Programs to turn off the computer by timer

If the described methods of turning off the computer on the timer are not suitable for you or seem too complicated, then you can turn off the computer using third-party programs. Below we consider several such programs.

Powerful free program To turn off the computer by timer. Using the PowerOff program, you can configure almost any trifle. On the other hand, due to huge number The functions of the interface of this program are too overloaded. What to figure it out is very difficult.

A small program to turn off the computer. SWITCH OFF program is equipped small quantity functions and has light and understandable interface. The program is equipped with a built-in web server that allows you to turn off the computer by local network or via the Internet.

The developer of this program to turn off the computer by timer declares only Windows 7, 8 and XP support. Although on Windows 10 it should work without problems.
