Steam Auto Shutdown

Steam Auto Shutdown is a simple and straightforward tool based on Python that provides a convenient way to toggle Steam on or off once the downloads are done. According to the developer, the difference between this tool and other similar ones is that it is not designed to simply check your Internet connection. Instead, the program detects downloading files and will shut down Steam once the file is grabbed.

As previously mentioned, the tool is based on Python and hence, you need to have it installed on your computer. The program should work with any version of Python 3.0 or newer. Afterwards, you can extract the archive and start the PYW corresponding file so you can preview and manage Steam's behavior.

It is worth mentioning that the app does not need complicated certain steps to make sure that Steam closes when assigned. Providing that both the app and Steam download are open and running, you can select the assigned Downloading folder and toggle it on and off. According to the developer, you can even cancel the shut down at any time regardless of whether you have active downloads.

Nevertheless, to ensure that the app can complete its role, it is important to put everything you are downloading in the queue. This is also available for Workshops updates, as otherwise they are not going to be recognized as downloads. Providing that all these conditions are met and the downloads are complete, the app proceeds to shut down the computer after 60 seconds.

In the eventuality that you are regularly downloading games from Steam and want to make sure that the app shuts down after downloading, then perhaps you can consider giving Steam Auto Shutdown a try.
