    Why would we need this when there’s an integrated shutdown command with a timer and we could just make a shortcut to it?

    Not snarky, genuinely curious.

    shutdown /s /t 3600
    

    … Would shut down the computer after 1 hour

      Because windows is still prone to randomly waking and staying awake and killing laptop batteries or just wasting power. I can see this being useful.

        What does that have to do with a shutdown command? Those are wake/sleep issues no?

        Or is this a script that keeps running and will shut down at a regular interval? If so, why wouldn’t a shutdown shortcut added to start up solve that issue?

            I’m not sure why you can’t answer these elemental questions I’m not going to go look at your post when you can’t answer a simple question.

            I’m asking what your tool does that cannot be done simpler, natively

              It’s not my post, and if you had looked at it then you would know that, as well as the answers to your questions. Note that you’ve spent more time asking questions here than it would’ve taken you to just read it to begin with

                Instead of squabbling and giving bullshit responses, you could have contributed something useful.

                  I told you the answers are in the blog post, which you could’ve just read to begin with, instead of bothering people with irrelevant comments, but here you are yet again, commenting instead of reading the post.
