Imagine that you are downloading a large file over night and you would like your computer to turn off automatically after the download is complete. Or you would like to watch a late night movie and have the computer turned off after you fall asleep. Doing all these tasks using the Windows operating system alone seems like a very difficult thing, as the feature for turning off the computer automatically after a certain amount of time doesn't always work. That's why you should use a specialized application for scheduling your computer to turn off. One such application is Auto Shutdown Pro II.

The name of the application says it all. This simple Windows program allows you to program the computer to turn off or standby after a certain amount of time or at a certain hour. But that's not all that Auto Shutdown Pro II can do. The installation procedure of this application can be completed in the easiest manner possible, as a few clicks are enough to get the program installed.

After installing and running the program, the user will be presented with a graphical interface which allows accessing all the program's features using a single mouse click. After right clicking on the program's interface, a large menu will be displayed, from where the user can access all the program's features and options. Speaking about features, Auto Shutdown Pro II allows turning off or putting the computer into standby either after a certain amount of time or at a certain hour.

For making it easier to decide at what hour the computer should turn off, the main interface of Auto Shutdown Pro II displays a graphical clock, pretty much like the one in Windows Vista and 7. Included in the program's interface is a feature for displaying the log file, which shows all the actions performed by the application. In this way, the user will be able to spot any possible error.

Pros

It allows you to automatically turn off the computer after a certain amount of time or at a certain hour. Besides that, the interface is very simple to use and intuitive, displaying an animated large clock. Furthermore, a log can be displayed, containing all the program's actions.

Cons

Not having an actual interface but a right click menu can be overwhelming for certain users. Auto Shutdown Pro II allows you to program the computer to automatically turn off after a certain amount of time, using a very simple interface.
