Auto Power Switch Shuts Down Applications or PC at a Given Time

Shutting down your computer when you don’t need to use it for a long period of time, such as when you’re sleeping, is usually a good idea and can save you money on your electricity bill. However, there are certain situations where leaving the computer on is necessary, such as during a large download or during a malware scan.

This is when tools that can automatically shut down your PC come in handy. Auto Power Switch can not only shut down your PC at a specified time, but it can also tell your PC to hibernate and sleep.

In the top section, select a shut down action, such as Hibernate, Lock, or Sleep. The bottom section asks  for the time at which you want to the action to be executed.
