The reason we give the option Power Option because this solution is very useful in case you want Windows to shut-down itself at a specific time without installing any additional software, such as 3 hours Bright - when you can overslept on the keyboard.

Steps to take:

1. Start Windows Task Scheduler by clicking Start and entering the Task keyword or Schedule into the search box for Search programs and files .

2. In Action menu select Create Basic Task to open the Task Wizard .

3. Enter the name of the task you will do (eg Auto shutdown ) and click Next .

4. Select the time to do the job. Here we select Daily , then click Next .

5. Next, select the time you want the computer to shut down. For example, 2 am then press Next .

6. Windows will ask you to select a task to run, click Start a Program then click Next .

7. In the program entry enter shutdown.

8. In the Add argument entry section: -ht 60 f (or -st 60 f ). This argument means that after 60 seconds all operations will stop, the running applications will be turned off and the computer goes into hibernate (hibernate).

9. ClickNext

10. Finally select Finish .
