Autoshutdown

Even though shutting down the computer is one of the most basic tasks, Windows lacks a simple way to let you schedule this function. After all, if you were to perform a tedious task that does not need your assistance, you do not want to have to worry about when it is done so you close your PC.

Autoshutdown is a tiny tool designed with this precise purpose in mind and hence, provides a simple way to schedule the computer shut down. The program comes with a tiny interface and includes only the basic features, which is not a setback considering its role. The GUI consists of two tabs, namely the Countdown where you can set the interval for shut down and Time, where you can configure the date and time.

It is worth mentioning that the app comes with a countdown that lets you set the timer for when the computer should close. Unfortunately, the timer allows you to set a timer between 1 and 300 minutes. It would have been nice if it enabled you to add parameters, as sometimes you want to make sure that the task has been completed before shutting down. This way, you need to estimate a correct timer and possibly have to deal with the same task once you restart your computer.
