Windows Shutdown - shut down the computer with CMD

There are some programs that can work independently. But to prevent the PC or laptop from running permanently and consuming power, you can shut down Windows at a specified time. With CMD, the process works smoothly.

Shutdown: How to craft your timer for Windows

To use this feature, you need to know various batch commands. These are useful to create a custom timer:

• Shutdown-s: Your computer will be shut down.
• Shutdown-r: Your PC will be shut down and the computer will restart afterwards.
• Shutdown-l: You will be logged out of Windows.
• Shutdown-a: The shutdown of your PC will be aborted.
• Batch command + -txx: The shutdown timer is t. The xx indicates the time in seconds. You can choose an unlimited time as long as you specify it in seconds.
• Batch command + -f: Forces all running applications to close without warning first.
