Question

How can I set up a three minute delay in a schedule shutdown. To give me time to close the open programs.

Answer 1

Hi,

When scheduling a shutdown you can use the shutdown command, so to schedule a 3 minute delay shutdown would be:

shutdown -s -t 180  

Here's a few guides on how to schedule a shutdown using Task Scheduler:
