While the Windows system does provide a few solutions in terms of scheduling system actions, in the form of the built-in Power Plan, it does have disadvantage of being rather heavy handed. If for example you want your PC to restart in 45 minutes you may want to look elsewhere for a solution. Here is one designed just for such occasions and with a name quite self explanatory - AutoShutdown Scheduler.

Why AutoShutdown Scheduler ?

With so many other applications out there dedicated to this purpose, why choose this one ? Well for starters, AutoShutdown Scheduler is a portable tool, meaning you will not have to install it, will not alter your system registry in any way and thanks to its size (360 kb) can easily be carried around on a USB stick. The friendly design makes it quite straightforward to use and what's more, it is completely Free.

Program Usage

There are two types of shutdown timer you can set to automatically shutdown your PC. Scheduler type of timer is useful when you want to shutdown your PC after specific time and date. Simple Timer under Timer tab is useful when you are in a listening music and fall a sleep scenario. Simple timer is very useful to shutdown your PC after some time duration like 2 hours or 45 minutes.

You can set daily shutdown Schedule by checking Daily radio button and adjusting time you want then just hit the Set Schedule button and Schedule will be set. If you close the program or remove it timer will remain in effect. Next time you open this application current schedule is displayed in Status bar.

You can set specific date for shutdown schedule by checking Specific Date radio button. Now just select the date and time you want and click Set Schedule button.

You can set timer to Restart PC instead of shutdown by checking Restart text box and then Set Schedule as above.

You can Remove Schedule that are already created by clicking Remove Schedule button.

You can set your PC to shutdown after specific time by selecting minutes or hours from combo box and adjusting track bar to suit your needs. After adjusting everything to your needs just click Set Timer to set the timer. You can click Remove timer to remove previously added timer. There are two different type of timer for Scheduler and Simple timer. So clicking on Simple timer's remove button doesn't remove Scheduler and opposite is also true.
