[Schedule a shutdown on Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1 computers and laptops. This guide shows you how to schedule a computer or laptop shutdown without any software, in just a few simple steps. You want to leave your computer on to play a game but still want it to rest while you sleep, or you are about to download a movie or some software but are already very sleepy: the solution is to schedule a shutdown for your computer or laptop. It works out both ways, doesn’t it? Check out the tip for scheduling a shutdown on Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1 below. First, go to Start > select Run (or use the Windows + R shortcut), then copy the following command and paste it into the Run box

shutdown -s -t 6000

 

where:
shutdown: the keyword -s: short for shutdown.
-t: the time parameter, in seconds
6000: the amount of time after which you want the computer to shut down automatically, counted from when you set up the command. This command makes the computer shut itself down after 6000s
You can change the -s value to -r to schedule a restart of the computer (-r is short for Restart), or to -l to schedule a log off. The same goes for other commands, if you remember some English terms to build the command
To cancel the scheduled shutdown, open the Run dialog box as well and use the following command

shutdown -a
