Shutdown8

Shutdown8 is a simple-to-use application that enables you to easily activate a power management option, such as restart and shutdown. This can be done from a desktop or taskbar shortcut.

The tool does not come equipped with complicated settings, making it suitable to all types of users, even the ones with little or no previous experience in computer software.

Installing the app takes little time and minimum effort. Once it is finished, you can run the executable file to open a context menu, representing Shutdown8's interface.

You can shut down, log off, restart the computer or put it in hibernate or sleep mode, as well as specify a 10-minute, 30-minute, 1-hour or 2-hour timer for the shutdown sequence.

Once the shutdown countdown is established, a message dialog appears with the remaining time, and allows you to cancel the action. You can increase or decrease total minutes, as well as select to log off, restart, hibernate or sleep, instead of powering off.

Unfortunately, Shutdown8 does not integrate an option for scheduling shutdowns, either for one time or on a recurring basis.

The application offers multilingual support, has a good response time and works fine. We have not come across any issues in our tests, since Shutdown8 did not cause the operating system to freeze, crash or pop up error messages.

Shutdown8 offers a quick solution to setting a power management function, and it can be handled by all types of users, thanks to its overall simplicity.
