Some tasks, like scans or defragmentations, take too long to complete and you may need to leave your computer running overnight. When the process is over, the machine will remain turned on until you wake up, wasting electricity, even if it goes to standby mode. You can find many applications for automatic shutdown, but Awshow Auto Shutdown Software is more flexible and with its additional protection features, you can prevent other people from using your computer. It can run in stealth mode and when the time comes, it will turn off the computer, no matter what the user is doing.

The 7.44 Mb download should not present any difficulties for any type of Internet connection. You can install the software in a few seconds, thanks to the straightforward setup wizard and its clear instructions.

Awshow Auto Shutdown Software provides you with a simple and a planned shutdown mode. They can be accessed, on separate pages, with large navigation buttons, located on the left side of the interface. With the simple mode, you can set the program to shut down the computer automatically at a certain hour, when a timer reaches zero, after a set period of time, from the moment you log into Windows or if the computer is idle for a certain amount of time. You can type in a number of hours and minutes for each of these features and enable them individually by clicking check boxes. After making your settings, you will have to activate the software itself by clicking a button, in the upper left corner of the interface.

The second shutdown mode lets you set up multiple time intervals for each day of the week. You can select a day from a drop menu and enable up to five intervals by typing start and end times in different boxes. Once your timetable is set, you must activate the application by clicking the same button in the interface's corner.

You can also use Awshow Auto Shutdown Software to enforce your rules, regarding how long someone can use your computer. Access to its interface is restricted with a password and while it is running, the software will not display a system tray icon. You can bring up the interface at any time by using a shortcut key, which can be configured on the general settings page.

Pros

Awshow Auto Shutdown Software's features serve two purposes. You can use it if you need to leave your computer running while you are away or to prevent someone from using it. The shutdown timetables can be configured without any difficulties, by typing and clicking check boxes. The software includes various safety features as well, to prevent anyone from disabling your timers or manipulating the Windows clock.

Cons

Some shortcut keys may not work, while the application's window is active. With Awshow Auto Shutdown Software, your computer can shut down automatically, according to various timetables. Due to its simple, yet effective design, even beginners can use this application.
