If you want your computer to shutdown everyday at 2:00AM, for example, you can create a task to do so in Windows.
In start menu. Click Run, Type tasks, Click OK.
On the window that will be displayed, double click on Add Scheduled Task, a dialog box will appear.
Click Next.
Click Browse. In the file name text box, type C:\Windows\System32\shutdown then press Enter
When asked when to perform the task, select Daily then Click next
Set the start time to 2:00AM, click Next
click Next again
Check “Open Advanced properties for this task when I click Finish”
Click Finish, a new dialog box will appear.
On the run text box, add -s to C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe to make it C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe -s
Check “Run only if logged”
Click OK.
You’re done.
Now, the problem is if you’re still using the computer.
When the notification appears that your computer will be shutdown, Click Start Menu, Click run, type shutdown -a
