ShutdownCountdown 1.1.0 by yuma14 is a lightweight Windows utility designed to schedule an automatic system shutdown at a user-defined time. Falling under the System Automation category, the application addresses the need for unattended power management by allowing users to set a countdown timer after which the computer will shut itself down. Typical use cases include ensuring a PC powers off after lengthy downloads, rendering jobs, or overnight file transfers, as well as enforcing bedtime deadlines on family machines or saving energy in office environments where workstations are often left idle. The interface is deliberately minimal: users enter the desired delay in hours and minutes, press Start, and the program minimizes to the system tray while displaying the remaining time in a tooltip; once the counter reaches zero the standard Windows shutdown sequence is triggered without further prompts. Because the tool issues a standard shutdown command, all running applications receive the usual close requests, giving them the opportunity to save data before the system powers off. Version 1.1.0, the first and only release published so far, is distributed as a single portable executable that requires no installation and occupies less than a megabyte of disk space, making it suitable for quick deployment on shared or locked-down systems. The software is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
