Introduction

    In standby mode, Windows shuts off the monitor and keeps the hard drive from spinning while the CPU is also placed on the lowest capacity. At times, you may walk away from your desktop or notebook computer and not be able to get back in a short period of time. Free Auto Shutdown is an easy-to-use and powerful utility that can set the computer to standby automatically, without user intervention, to save power when you are away from your computer.

Step 1. Choose the Task You Want to Execute

    Launch Free Auto Shutdown and click the "Action" dropdown menu to choose "Standby" from "Turn Off/Restart/Standby/Hibernate".

Step 2. Set the Task Execution Time

    Switch to "Time Schedule" section to define the schedule to auto standby your system.

You can check "Relative Time" to specify the relative time from now/after next restart/after every restart to perform selected action.

Schedule Relative Time


    If you want to executive the task on the specified time every week, check "Every week on" and click "..." to check Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday/Friday/Saturday/Sunday and click the up or down arrow to define the exact time according to your requirement.

Schedule Weekly Time


    It also allows you to select the exact date and time every month for the action. Check "On a specified date" and click the calendar to select the date and then set the exact time (Remember that the delay time should be at least 2 minutes). Click "Apply" and it runs in the background quietly. It will pop up a countdown reminder one minute before the execution.
