Shutdown Please

Shutdown Please is a lightweight and portable application you can use to schedule a power management option for your computer, such as shutdown, restart or logout.
It enables you to configure the countdown mode and apply force, featuring approachable settings that can be tackled with ease by all types of users.

No setup required, besides .NET Framework

The entire program's packed in a single executable file that can be saved to a custom directory on the disk or copied to a removable storage unit to directly run it on any PC with as little effort as possible.
It doesn't change registry settings or create files on the disk without permission. Just keep in mind that .NET Framework must be installed, since it was developed with the aid of this platform. In order to uninstall it, you simply have to delete this .exe item.

Schedule PC shutdown and set the time

The interface of Shutdown Please is user-friendly, represented by a standard window with a neatly structured layout, where you can set the time in days, hours, minutes and seconds, as well as specify the exact date and time.
The computer shutdown mode can be selected between shutdown, restart and logout. Moreover, you can write a comment and allow the application to use force, in case any currently running programs do not respond to commands.

Evaluation and conclusion

The software utility didn't put a strain on the overall performance of the machine in our tests, thanks to the fact that it needed a low amount of CPU and RAM to work properly. It remained stable throughout its runtime, without triggering the operating system to hang, crash or indicate error dialogs.
On the other hand, the tool doesn't support multiple tasks, so you cannot set up two or more shutdown jobs to run simultaneously. Nevertheless, Shutdown Please delivers a straightforward method for scheduling PC shutdown.
