Hello everyone today will tell you how to put the computer shutdown timer with Windows 7, 8.1, 10. Such a timer can be installed standard means Windows 7, 8.1 and Windows 10 and, in my opinion, this option will suit most users. However, if you wish, you can use special programs to turn off the computer, they can certainly have a number of additional cfunctions, but as practice shows, they are few uses and used for most users.

How to put a Windows 10 computer shutdown timer

This method Suitable for setting the shutdown timer in all recent versions OS - Windows 7, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10. For this, the system provides special program shutdown that turns off the computer through set time.

In the general case, to use the program, you can press the Win + R keys on the keyboard (Win - key with the Windows emblem), and then enter the command to the "Run" window shutdown -s -t n (where n is the time before automatic shutdown in seconds) and click "OK" or ENTER.

Immediately after executing the command, you will see a notification that your session will be completed after a certain time (full screen in Windows 10, in the notification area - in Windows 8.1 and 7). When the time comes, all programs will be closed (with the ability to save work, like when the computer is turned off manually), and the computer will be turned off. If you need a forced way out of all programs (without the ability to save and dialogues), add a parameter -f. in the team.

If you change your mind and want to cancel the timer, enter the command in the same way shutdown -a. - This will reset it and turn off will not happen.

Someone the permanent entry of the command to install the shutdown timer may not seem quite convenient, and therefore I can offer two ways to improve it.

First method - Create a label to turn off the timer. To do this, right-click anywhere in the desktop, select "Create" - "Label".

In the "Specify the location of the object", specify the path C: \\ Windows \\ System32 \\ shutdown.exe and add the parameters (in the example in the screenshot, the computer will turn off 3600 seconds or an hour).

On the next screen, set the desired shortcut name (at your discretion). If you want, then you can click on the finished shortcut right-click, select "Properties" - "Change icon" and select the icon in the form of a shutdown button or any other.

Second way - Creating.Bat file, when starting which the question is asked for how time to install the timer, after which it is installed.

File code:

ECHO OFF CLS SET / P TIMER_OFF \u003d "VVEDITE VREMYA V SEKUNDAH:" SHUTDOWN -S -T% TIMER_OFF%

You can enter this code in notepad (or copy from here), then when saving in the File Type field, specify "all files" and save the file with extension.Bat.

How to turn off the computer at the specified time through the Windows job scheduler

The same as described above can be implemented through Windows task scheduler. To start it, press Win + R keys and enter the command. taskschd.msc. - Then press ENTER.

In the task scheduler to the right, select "Create a simple task" and specify any convenient name for it.

In the next step, you will need to set the task launch time, for the shutdown timer purposes, it will probably be "once".

We choose to run the program

Specify the path to your file

I advise you to read the program to extend the program to turn off the computer on the schedule.

That's just turn off the computer windows tools 7,8.1,10.

Now almost all devices are equipped with shutdown timers after a certain time. And the computer is no exception.

Computer shutdown timer highly useful featureWhen you need to turn off the computer after a certain time, and next you will not be. In this article I described the two most simple way Put the timer on turning off the computer with standard Windows 7 tools, without any third-party programs.

We put the computer shutdown timer in Windows 7 with a regular method.

Set the time through which the computer will automatically turn off, you can without using third-party programs, and standard means! To do this, press the combination WIN.+ R.and in the "Run" window enter the command shutdown -s -t 3600.

(The computer will turn off hour later).

3600 is a specified timer value in seconds (3600C \u003d 1 hour) can be set any from 0 to 315360000 (10 years).

There are also others computer shutdown timers In the Shutdown command settings that can restart, complete the session, translate the computer to sleep or hibernation. To view the full list, press Win + R, enter cmd.exe. , type in the command line window shutdown. -? and press ENTER:

For example:

shutdown -r -t 60- Reload the computer in 60 seconds.

shutdown -s -t 600 — turn off the computer after 600 seconds (5 minutes); shutdown -a. - Cancel reboot / off, which are included in previous commands.

shutdown -a. — transfer a computer to hibernation mode.

shutdown -R -T 1000 -reload the computer in 1000 seconds .

Timer Disconnecting a computer in Windows 7 through the scheduler:

1. Click the "Start" menu and enter the Scheduler search string.

2. A line "Task Scheduler" will appear, we need to open it.

3. In the left column, the task scheduler opened to poke the "job scheduler library", and in the right column - "actions", choose "Create a simple task".

4. We give a name in the "Name" column, and then click the "Next" button.

5. In a new window, you must specify the period, for example, "daily" and 3 times click "Next".

6. In the next window, the "program or script" enter the "Shoutdown" command, and in the "Add Arguments" field, write "-s -f" without quotes.

There are also quite a few third-party programs that allow you to put a timer on turning off the computer, but I believe that full-time quite enough. They are as simple as possible and safe, unlike third-party software.

User's question

Good day.

Tell me how you can turn off the computer at the same time (in the evening). It just often happens that when viewing the series I fall asleep, and the computer remains off until the morning (for some reason the translation settings to sleep mode are not triggered (adjusted in the panel windows management, in the power supply section)) ...

Anastasia, Kemerovo.

Hello.

Sleep mode, most likely, does not work because of the open player: while it reproduces the file, Windows believes that you are watching it ...

In this case, it is necessary to use timer (or separate specials. Utility or built-in Windows), to automatically turn off the computer at a certain time, for example, after 2 hours (or at a specific time: every day, let's say at 12:00).

Below I will consider how this can be done (without any fuss). So...

We use special. programs

The easiest way to turn off the computer at the right time is to use special utilities. I set up once - and everything works. I will give a few best, on my modest look ☺.

PowerOff

Developer: http://www.videozona.ru.

Probably one of the most sophisticated auto-switches of the computer. In addition to its main task, it can translate PC to sleep mode, hibernation, complete network connectionremotely turn off another PC on the network, etc.

Main advantages:

1. A huge number of settings: a timer for a specific time, the action after the program works (completes its work, etc.), you can set an action relative to the processor load and much more;
2. There is a built-in diary;
3. Log is underway all actions;
4. The ability to adjust hot keys;
5. There is your task scheduler;
6. Motor boat program along with Windows loading;
7. Support for all popular versions of Windows: 7, 8, 10.

Switch off

Screenshots of the settings

Very simple and reliable utility for setting the timer to automatically disconnect the computer. After installing the utility, the icon appears in the taskbar (next to the clock), with which you can set all the basic settings (except for shutdown, you can set a schedule for the translation of the PC to sleep, reboot, block all connections, etc.).

The program supports Russian, does not require any additional libraries, it works in all windows versions: 2000, XP, 7, 8, 10 (32 | 64 BITS).

sleep timer

Comfortable, simple and free utility For auto-shutdown PC / laptop at a specific time (either through a specified interval). Works on a similar principle from the first. By the way, the program does not need installation and it does not need any additional. Libraries in the system.

I also want to note that the utility differs from many of its analogues with one detail: it has a password that protects the timer. Those. No one except you can cancel it or change it. The option is useful more for PCs, rather than for the house (in my opinion).

Turning off PC after all downloads

(if it is not known when the PC downloads all files)

Many users leave the computer turned on overnight so that it uploads a list of specific files (music, movies, etc.). At night, as a rule, the speed of access to the Internet is higher, the download does not interfere with anyone. In addition, not in all cities of our country - unlimited Internet traffic (therefore, without night downloads - nowhere) ...

If you download the program with UTorrent - then you do not even need to download and install additionally. Enough to open the menu "Settings / Finishing Windows" , then millet, choose which action you need: hibernation, standby, simple output or shutdown (sample on the screen below)

uTORRENT - Auto-shutdown upon completion of downloads

The same option is both in most download managers (download master, flashget, etc.). The screen below shows the capabilities of the Download Master program - just as two clicks you can set the mouse when you turn off the PC (and go to sleep ☺ ...).

Download Master - Turn off the PC upon completion of all downloads

Setting a timer on the command prompt

In Windows, you can set the timer and without any utilities, just through command line (Many novice users dislike this method, and nevertheless).

First you need to call the window "Run" (or immediately open the command line). To open this window, press the button combination - Win + R..

Instruction. How to open a command line in different versions Windows -

Then you need to enter one of the following commands to the "Open" string and click OK:

1. shutdown -s -t 600 - turning off the computer after 10 minutes ("600" is the time specified in seconds);
2. shutdown -s -t 1800 - Off. in 30 minutes;
3. shutdown -s -t 3600 - Off. After 1 hour;
4. shutdown -s -t 3600 -f - turning off the PC after 1 hour, all programs will be closed forced (thanks to the key "-F").

shutdown -s -t 3600 (turning off the PC in an hour)

After entering the command, in the notification area will see a message that windows work It will be completed through so much (a screenshot example below) ...

If you want to cancel the timer - Open again "Run" window and enter shutdown -a.

We use a timer in task scheduler

The task scheduler is good in that it is possible to ask not only the timer, but also to perform any other tasks: for example, the launch of some program in certain cases. Very convenient to do not forget anything.

And so, all the actions of working with the task scheduler in order:

PS.

And all by timer. W.good, however ...

Sometimes users have to leave a computer for a while so that it completes the execution of a specific task itself. After the task is fulfilled, the PC will continue to work in a combat. In order to avoid this, you should set the shutdown timer. Let's see how this can be done in the Windows operating system 7 in various ways.

There are a number of ways that allow you to set the shutdown timer in Windows 7. All of them can be divided into two large groups: own tools of the operating system and third-party programs.

Method 1: Third Party Utilities

There are a whole series third-party utilitieswhich specialize in installing a timer to disable PCs. One of these is SM Timer.

1. After running downloaded from the Internet installation fileThe language selection window opens. We click in it button Ok Without additional manipulations, since the default setting language will correspond to the language of the operating system.



2. Next opens Installation Wizard. Here we click on the button "Further".



3. After that opens a window license Agreement. It is required to rearrange the switch to the position "I accept the terms of the agreement" and click on the button "Further".



4. The additional task window is started. Here if the user wants to set the program shortcuts on Desktop and on Panels quickly launch , I have to put ticks near the respective parameters.



5. You will then seek the window where information about the settings of the installation, which were made by the user earlier. Click on the button "Install".



6. After the installation is completed, Installation Wizard Report this in separate window. If you wish, SM Timer immediately opened, you need to install the checkbox near the item "Run SM Timer". Then Zhmem. "Complete".



7. A small SM TIMER application window is launched. First of all, in the top field from the drop-down list you need to select one of the two operating modes of the utility: "Turning off the computer" or "Complete session". Since we are faced with the task of turning off the PC, we select the first option.



8. Next, select the timing option: absolute or relative. With absolute, the exact shutdown time is set. It will occur when the specified timer time and computer system hours are coincided. In order to establish this reference option, the switch is rearranged to the position "IN". Next with two sliders or pictograms "Up" and "Down"The on the right of them is set to shutdown time.

   

   Relative time shows after how many hours and minutes after activating the PC timer will be disconnected. In order to set it, set the switch to the position "Through". After that, in the same way, as in the previous case, we set the number of hours and minutes, after which the shutdown procedure occurs.



9. After the above settings are manufactured, press the button Ok.

The computer will be turned off, after the set amount of time or at the occurrence of the specified time, depending on which the reference version was selected.

Method 2: Use of peripheral tools of third-party applications

In addition, in some programs, the main task of which does not have a relationship under consideration, there are secondary tools to turn off the computer. Especially often such an opportunity can be found from torrent customers and various file loaders. Let's see how to schedule a PC shutdown on the example of the download Master files.

Now, when you reach the specified time, the download in the Download Master program will be completed, immediately after which the PC will turn off.

Method 3: "Run" window

The most common option to start the computer auto-discontinuity timer built-in windows tools is the use of command expression in the window "Run".

If the user wants, when the computer is turned off, it has completed the work of the programs, even if the documents are not saved, you should install in the window field "Run" After specifying the time through which the disconnection occurs, the parameter "-F". Thus, if you wish, the forced shutdown occurred after 3 minutes, then enter the following entry:

shutdown -s -t 180 -f

Click on the button Ok. After that, even if programs will work with unsaved documents, they will be forcibly completed, and the computer is turned off. When entering the same expression without parameter "-F" The computer even with the installed timer will not turn off until manually saves documents if programs are running with unsaved contents.

But there are situations that the user's plans may change and he will change his mind to disconnect the computer after the timer is already running. From this position there is a way out.

Method 4: Creating a shutdown button

But constantly resort to command in the window "Run", entering the code there, not very convenient. If you regularly resort to the shutdown timer, installing it at the same time, then in this case it is possible to create special buttons Launch timer.

1. Click on the desktop right key mouse. In the discontinuing context menu, we bring the cursor to the position "Create". In the list that appears, select the option "Label".



2. Running Wizard Creation Label. If we want to turn off the PC after half an hour after the timer is started, that is, after 1800 seconds, we introduce into the area "Specify the location" Next expression:

   C: \\ Windows \\ System32 \\ shutdown.exe -s -t 1800

   Naturally, if you wish to put a timer at a different time, then at the end of the expression, you should specify another number. After that we click on the button "Further".



3. At the next step, you need to assign a label name. By default it will be "Shutdown.exe"But we can add a more understandable name. Therefore, in the area "Enter a shortcut name" We fit out the name, looking at which it will immediately be clear that when it is pressed, it will happen, for example: "Runs off timer". Click on the inscription "Ready".



4. After the specified actions, the timer activation label appears on the desktop. So he was not faceless standard icon The label is available to replace to a more informative icon. To do this, click on it right mouse button and stop the choice in the list. "Properties".



5. The properties window starts. Move into the section "Label". Click on the inscription "Change icon ...".



6. Display informational alert that object shutdown. Doesn't have icons. To close it, click on the inscription Ok.



7. The icon selection window opens. Here you can choose an icon for every taste. In the form of such an icon, for example, you can use the same icon as shut down windowsAs in the image below. Although the user can choose anything other. So, choose the icon and click on the button Ok.



8. After the icon appears in the properties window, we also click on the inscription Ok.



9. After that, the visual display of the auto-discontinuity of the PC on the desktop will be changed.



10. If in the future you need to change the disabling time of the computer from the moment of starting the timer, for example, from half an hour, then in this case again go to the label properties through the context menu in the same way that it was discussed above. In the window that opens in the field "An object" change numbers at the end of the expression with "1800" on the "3600". Click on the inscription Ok.

Now, after clicking on the label, the computer will be disconnected after 1 hour. In the same way, you can change the disconnection period at any other time.

Now let's see how to create a computer disconnect button. After all, the situation when the actions should be canceled, also not rare.

Method 5: Using task scheduler

Also, schedule a PC disconnection through the specified period of time, you can using the built-in Windows job scheduler.

1. To go to the task scheduler, click the button "Start" In the lower left corner of the screen. After that, in the list, select the position "Control Panel".



2. In the opened area, go to the section "System and safety".



3. Next, in the block "Administration" Choose a position "Task Schedule".

   

   There is something more fast option Transition to the schedule of task execution. But it will suit those users who are used to memorize command syntax. IN this case We have to call a familiar window "Run"by pressing the combination Win + R.. Then it is required to enter a command expression in the field. "Taskschd.msc" without quotes and click on the inscription Ok.



4. The task scheduler is launched. In its right area, choose a position "Create a simple task".



5. Opens Object creation wizard. At the first stage in the field "Name" The task should give name. It can be absolutely arbitrary. The main thing is that the user himself understood what it is about. We assign name "Timer". Click on the button "Further".



6. In the next step, you will need to set the task trigger, that is, specify the frequency of its execution. Rearrange the switch to the position "Single". Click on the button "Further".



7. After that, a window opens in which you want to set the date and time when the auto power desk will be activated. Thus, it is set in time in absolute dimension, and not in relative, as it was before. In the corresponding fields "To begin" We specify the date and exact time when the PC must be disabled. Click on the inscription "Further".



8. In the next window, you need to select an action that will be made upon the occurrence of the above time. We should include a program shutdown.exe.which we have previously launched using the window "Run" and label. Therefore, set the switch to the position "Run the program". Click of PO "Further".



9. A window starts where you want to specify the name of the program you want to activate. In the area "Program or script" We enter the full path to the program:

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



10. The window opens in which is represented general information About the task based on previously entered data. If the user does not suit something, then you should click on the inscription "Back" To edit. If everything is in order, put the checkbox near the parameter "Open the" Properties "window after pressing the" Finish "button. And click on the inscription "Ready".



11. The task properties window opens. Near the parameter "Perform the highest rights" Install a tick. Switch in the field "Set up for" Test to position "Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2 ". Zhmem. Ok.

After that, the task will be queued and disabling the computer will automatically be automatically in the time specified using the scheduler.

If you have a question, how to disable the computer shutdown timer in Windows 7, if the user has changed his mind to disconnect the computer, do the following.

After the specified action, the task for auto-power PC will be canceled.

As you can see, there are a number of ways to run the computer auto-disconnecting timer at the specified time in Windows 7. Moreover, the user can choose solutions to this task, both built-in operating system tools and using third-party programs, but even within these two directions between specific methods. There are significant differences, so that the relevance of the selected option must be substantiated by the nuances of the application situation, as well as the personal convenience of the user.

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 and fastest way to turn off the Timeru computer is to use the "Shutdown" command, which works equally well in Windows 7, and in other versions of Windows. This command can be performed 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 software 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 the scheduler of tasks or programs 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 the huge number of functions, the interface of this program is 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.
