How can I automatically let my Windows boot and shutdown?

I want my PC to boot at 9am and shutdown at 10pm every day, is there a way to do that on Windows? Of course maybe don't go off completely, but hibernate or something like that.


Solution 1:

To start it, look at the BIOS settings. If the PC isn't too old, you should be able to set a start timer.

To shutdown, get a copy of shutdown.exe and add a new "Task" that runs at 10pm. Note that shutdown will fail if some application doesn't want to be shut down (i.e. when they display "Unsaved changes. Really Quit?" or something)
