How to arrange Windows 10 to close at a specific date and time, many novices are not very clear about this. In order to help you solve this problem, the following editor will explain it in detail. People with this need can come and learn. I hope you can get something.

Using the built-in Win10 task scheduler, you can set up a process in which the computer automatically shuts down at a specific time.

For many enterprises, this is the standard operating procedure for employees to turn on workstation computers when they leave the office. Typically, at some point later in the evening, these workstation computers will go into sleep or hibernation mode, thereby at least reducing power consumption. But what if companies want to further reduce power consumption?

In Microsoft windows 10, you can set a scheduled shutdown of PC for a specific time. In theory, a computer that shuts down completely will consume less electricity, save companies a lot of money and reduce their carbon footprint. With the help of Win10 Task Scheduler, arrange to close after work.

This usage tutorial shows you how to use Windows Task Scheduler to start the shutdown sequence of a windows 10 computer at a specific time.
