ShutDownTimer

Sometimes you start various activities, such as Windows update or an antivirus scan of your entire computer, without taking into consideration how long that’s going to take. Whether you have to leave for work, a walk or simply go to bed, you need to be able to shut down your computer even if you’re not home.

This can be done very easily, by installing a specialized application. ShutDownTimer is a light tool that can help you schedule your computer.

The app comes with a simple and intuitive interface. While the GUI isn’t that visual appealing, its simplicity helps you figure out exactly how to operate the software. Whether you’re launching a program like this for the first time or you’re a seasoned user, you can easily find your way around what ShutDownTimer has to offer.

The app can shut down your computer at a specific time anywhere in the next 24 hours. As an alternative, you can start a timer and, when it runs up, have the PC shut down. Through the drop-down menu you can choose an interval of up to four hours. All you have left to do is enable the settings and wait.

ShutDownTimer makes sure your computer is switched off even if you’re not home. Installation is easy as a breeze, only requiring your input through a few “Next” buttons. However, the app doesn’t come with any settings options, so customizing it beyond the aforementioned features isn’t possible.
