Trick to Automatically shutdown PC in Windows

Hi folks,

Sometimes we were running virus scan, huge file downloads and stuff like that in our computers. those things might take few hours to get it done. Therefore we might not be able to sit in front of the computer until those process get done. In a situation like that, we wont be able to shut the computer after complete those process. therefore it's really helpful if we have some one to do that for us.

There are lot of third party softwares available which can do this for us. these softwares can schedule the shutdown process. By using this method we can shutdown our PC using Windows Scheduler.

• Go to Start and type Task Scheduler in search box and press enter.
• You will get a new window and click on the Action and then lick on the Create Basic Task.

• In the Name field give any name for your task and then click on next button.
• Select the delay(Daily, weekly, etc) after which you want to repeat this task and click on the next button.
• Now specify the time at which when you want this task tom execute and click on the next button.

• Now select Start a Program and then click on the next button.
• Browse the program which you want to execute and click on the next button.
• For shutdown copy and paste this location.
  C:\Windows\system32\shutdown.exe

• After this click on the Finish button.

If someone is logged-on your PC at the execution time of the task, he/she is given one minute to save all data which is open before the computer shutdown.

Task scheduler can also be use to schedule other programs.Even Google Chrome uses Task Scheduler to run the Automatic Update.
