Wise Auto Shutdown to Windows

Powerful computers not only provide ample computing power, but they can also often give you unpleasant surprises in the form of high energy bills when you use them frequently. One way to prevent this and save money is to turn off your computer when you are not using it or do not need to run it.

There are several ways to save energy:

• Turning off your computer: completely shuts down the operating system and shuts down all applications. The computer does not consume power. You need to restart the operating system after turning it on. After shutting down your computer, it may take a few minutes to turn it back on.
• Hibernate mode: The contents of memory are stored on the hard disk and all components are shut down. The operating system does not close completely or applications are not closed. The computer does not consume any power. When you turn your computer on, the system simply goes back to sleep mode and you can continue working. It takes up to tens of seconds to come out of hibernation mode.
• Hibernate: Memory is powered up, but other components are disabled. The computer is consuming power, but the amount of power is low. It takes a few seconds to come out of hibernation mode, so you can work with your computer in no time. However, this mode is not suitable for laptops.

However, there are often times when your computer is running but you need to leave. Another example might be downloading data overnight, but when you want to complete the download, you want to shut down the computer. In such cases, programs that allow you to schedule events can help, and you can postpone shutting down your computer for a period of time.

One such program is Wise Auto Shutdown, which handles other settings in addition to shutting down your computer.

Wise Auto Shutdown is a program that you can use for free for non-commercial purposes. You can install it on Windows 2000 and newer. The Russian language interface is available, so even users who do not know English will have no problems using the program.

The application is installed and waits in the notification area at startup in the form of an icon with a typical shutdown sign. All interaction takes place through this icon, both with the left and the right button.

The program allows you to control all aspects related to shutting down your computer. It can not only shut down the computer, but also restart it, enable hibernation or hibernation mode, run one of the predefined scripts.

Create a new task

A slightly different option is to schedule a task directly. This can be done by left-clicking the icon. This method of creating an action offers more customization options. You can choose the interval of the action from several schedules (daily, weekly, one time, countdown, inactivity, user inactivity, when logged in, when starting the computer). The next step is to select the action to be performed at that time.

You can also choose to force applications to shut down, which might otherwise prevent them from shutting down. You can also get notifications when a task is running, so that you are not unpleasantly surprised in the middle of running that your computer starts shutting down. If everything is set up, you can start the task. This completes the task, and the task is waiting for a condition to be met.
