The market is already full of applications designed to give you the power of scheduling tasks such as rebooting or shutting down, but Auto Power-on Shut-down comes with a completely new approach.

The ace up its sleeve is definitely the tool that let you start the computer at a given time, but keep in mind that such a feature will only be efficient if the motherboard comes with RTC support.

Auto Power-on Shut-down is quite easy to use, so we can safely assume that it’s aimed at beginners and professional users alike, relying on a simple yet very efficient interface.

The new task window let you set up a new task daily, monthly, annually, weekly or just once, specify the start time and configure a reminder.

The number of tasks to be scheduled is quite impressive, because the list includes power-on, stand by, restart, hibernate, shut down, log off, close monitor, lock session, program launch, terminate process or execute a keyboard or mouse macro.

Just choose the one you wish and the date to perform it and hit the OK button.

One of the greatest things about the application is the fact that it can also get past the Windows login screen if you agree to provide the necessary password, so you can easily start the computer at any time without absolutely any hassle.

Overall, Auto Power-on Shut-down is one of the best tools of its kind on the market, but keep in mind that you will have to pay for a license to unlock its full powers. That despite the fact that there are some other freeware tools out there doing the same thing…
