您是否需要一种快速简便的方法来安排您的Windows 计算机或设备何时关闭(Windows computer or device shuts)或重新启动？您是否要安排其他事情，例如何时进入睡眠(Sleep)模式？也许您不想为任务计划程序(Task Scheduler)或命令提示符(Command Prompt)之类的复杂工具而烦恼。我们已经找到了一种方法来完成这一切，借助一个名为Simple Shutdown Scheduler的简单应用程序，该应用程序可以免费下载和使用。下面是它的工作原理：
下载并安装简单关机计划程序(Simple Shutdown Scheduler)
Simple Shutdown Scheduler是一款免费的开源应用程序(open-source app)，任何人都可以下载并安装在他们的Windows 计算机和设备上(Windows computer and devices)。首先(First)，从其官方项目页面(official project page)下载该应用程序。您下载一个名为SSS-v1.1.0-Setup.exe的文件，其大小将小于 1 MB。当您运行它时，您可能会被告知它需要Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0才能工作。单击(Click)或点击是。
您的默认 Web 浏览器以名为“dotnetfx.exe”的文件的形式下载它。("dotnetfx.exe.")运行该文件并安装.NET Framework。如果您使用的是Windows 10，则下载包含.NET Framework 2.0的(.NET Framework 2.0)3.5(version 3.5)版。如果您需要手动下载.NET Framework，可以在 Microsoft 网站上找到它(here)。
如果您没有被告知任何有关.NET Framework的信息，这意味着它已经安装在您的Windows 计算机上(Windows computer)，您可以继续安装Simple Shutdown Scheduler应用程序。
当您运行SSS-v1.1.0-Setup.exe时，将启动安装向导(installation wizard)。按下一步(Next)并自定义应用程序的安装。
在最后一步，按完成(Finish)并运行应用程序。
如何使用Simple Shutdown Scheduler安排计算机关机(Simple Shutdown Scheduler)
在Simple Shutdown Scheduler应用程序中，首先，转到General选项卡，然后单击或点击Options。确保启用以下选项：
-
“在 Windows 启动时启动 SSS”("Start SSS on Windows startup") - 这可确保应用程序始终在您每次登录Windows时自动启动。这样，如果您为关机和其他操作创建重复计划，该应用程序将始终在后台运行并执行您希望它执行的操作。
-
“从启用方案开始”("Start with scenarios enabled") - 您创建方案来安排定期关闭和其他操作。您希望每次应用程序启动时都启用它们。
-
“开始最小化”("Start minimized") - 如果你想在后台运行应用程序并在不打扰你的情况下做它的事情，你希望它开始最小化。
按保存(Save)，然后按关闭(Close)以保存您的配置。然后，转到场景(Scenarios)选项卡。在这里您可以创建新场景。要创建新场景，首先，单击或点击“新建场景”("New scenario")下拉列表，然后选择您希望它执行的操作。在我们的例子中，选择Shutdown。
要确保无论如何都会执行关闭，即使应用程序阻止它，请选中强制(Force)选项。然后，如果您想为您的关闭设置一个定期计划（例如每天在特定时间运行），请选择日期和时间(Date & time)并单击具有相同名称的下拉列表。然后，选择您希望场景运行的时间间隔：一次、每天、每周或每月。
然后，修改您希望场景运行的时间，然后单击或点击“添加场景”。("Add scenario.")
当您转到“常规(General)”选项卡时，您会看到该方案已添加并处于活动状态。您还可以设置倒计时并在经过一定时间后执行关机。如果你想要这个，选择倒计时(Countdown)，设置你想要的时间，然后按添加场景(Add scenario)。
现在返回“常规”选项卡，您可以看到倒计时正在运行，并在您的(General)Windows 计算机(Windows computer)即将关闭时通知您。
试用该应用程序，看看它是如何工作的。
如何从简单关机计划程序中删除场景(Simple Shutdown Scheduler)
虽然该应用程序对大多数人来说很容易使用，但它还可以改进。例如，不清楚如何删除您不再想使用的场景。为此，请在“常规(General)”选项卡中选择场景，然后按键盘上的Delete键。然后，系统会要求您确认是否可以删除所选场景。按是(Yes)，你就完成了。
另一个问题是您无法编辑已保存的场景。因此，您必须删除不再按您希望的方式工作的方案，然后创建一个新方案。
您可以使用Simple Shutdown Scheduler执行的其他操作(Simple Shutdown Scheduler)
Simple Shutdown Scheduler应用程序非常灵活，它允许您安排除计算机关闭(computer shut)之外的其他事情。您可以安排重新启动、睡眠程序、锁定您的 PC 或您的用户注销。此外，您可以使用它来设置定期运行您感兴趣的某些桌面应用程序的时间表。(desktop apps)
您可以使用它的另一种方法是执行即时操作而不是预定操作。从立即操作(Immediate action)下拉列表中选择常规(General)选项卡上的操作，然后按执行(Go)。
为什么这种方法比其他方法好？
当您搜索安排Windows 计算机或设备(Windows computer or device)关机程序的方法时，您会发现许多网站告诉您使用 Windows 中的任务计划(Task Scheduler)程序或命令提示符(Command Prompt)，您可以在其中运行带有特定参数的关机命令。虽然所有这些方法都运作良好，但大多数用户更愿意避免使用它们，因为它们有些技术性。最后，大多数用户甚至没有听说过任务计划程序(Task Scheduler)，或者当他们看到命令提示符(Command Prompt)时，他们感到迷茫并想要摆脱。
使用Simple Shutdown Scheduler会更好，因为它涉及使用简单的应用程序来完成此任务，任何人都可以下载、安装和使用。单击易于理解和使用的东西总是比使用诸如任务计划程序(Task Scheduler)之类的管理员工具更可取。

Set your Windows PC to turn off or restart at certain time, with Simple Shutdown Scheduler
Do you need a quick and easy way to schedule whеn your Windows computer or device ѕhuts down or restarts? Do you want to sсhedule other things lіke when it enters Sleep mode? Maybe you do not want to bother with complicated tools like the Task Scheduler or the Command Prompt. We have found a way to do all this, with the help of a simple app called Simple Shutdown Scheduler that is free to download and use. Here is how it works:
Download and install the Simple Shutdown Scheduler
Simple Shutdown Scheduler is a free open-source app that anyone can download and install on their Windows computer and devices. First, download the app from its official project page. You download a file named SSS-v1.1.0-Setup.exe will less than 1 MB in size. When you run it, you may be informed that it needs Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 to work. Click or tap Yes.
Your default web browser downloads it in the form of a file named "dotnetfx.exe." Run the file and install the .NET Framework. If you are using Windows 10, you download version 3.5 which includes .NET Framework 2.0. If you need to download the .NET Framework manually, you can find it here, on Microsoft's website.
If you are not told anything about the .NET Framework, it means that it is already installed on your Windows computer and you go ahead with the installation of the Simple Shutdown Scheduler app.
When you run the SSS-v1.1.0-Setup.exe, the installation wizard is started. Press Next and customize the installation of the app.
At the final step, press Finish and run the app.
How to schedule a computer shut down with the Simple Shutdown Scheduler
In the Simple Shutdown Scheduler app, first, go to the General tab and click or tap Options. Make sure that you enable the following options:
-
"Start SSS on Windows startup" - this makes sure that the app always starts automatically each time you sign into Windows. This way, if you create recurring schedules for shutdowns and other operations, the app always works in the background and does what you want it to do.
-
"Start with scenarios enabled" - you create scenarios to schedule regular shutdowns and other operations. You want them enabled each time the app starts.
-
"Start minimized" - if you want to run the app in the background and do its thing without bothering you, you want it to start minimized.
Press Save and then Close to save your configuration. Then, go to the Scenarios tab. Here you can create new scenarios. To create a new scenario, first, click or tap the "New scenario" drop-down list and select the action that you want it to perform. In our case, select Shutdown.
To make sure that the shut down is performed no matter what, even if apps are blocking it, check the Force option. Then, if you want to set a regular schedule for your shut down (like running it daily, at a specific time), select Date & time and click the drop-down list with the same name. Then, select the interval when you want the scenario to run: one time, daily, weekly or monthly.
Then, modify the time when you want the scenario to run and click or tap "Add scenario."
When you go to the General tab, you see that the scenario is added and active. You can also set a countdown and have the shut down performed after a certain amount of time passed. If you want this, select Countdown, set the time you want and press Add scenario.
Now go back to the General tab, and you can see the countdown working and informing you when your Windows computer is about to shut down.
Try out the app and see how it works.
How to delete scenarios from the Simple Shutdown Scheduler
While the app is easy to use for most people, it could be improved. For example, it is not evident how to remove a scenario that you no longer want to use. To do this, select the scenario in the General tab and press the Delete key on your keyboard. Then, you are asked to confirm that you are OK to delete the selected scenario. Press Yes and you are done.
Another issue is that you cannot edit saved scenarios. Therefore, you have to delete the scenario that no longer works the way you want to and then create a new one.
Other things that you can do with the Simple Shutdown Scheduler
The Simple Shutdown Scheduler app is flexible, and it allows you to schedule other things besides computer shut downs. You can schedule restarts, sleep procedures, the locking of your PC or your user logging off. Also, you can use it to set schedules for running certain desktop apps that interest you at regular intervals.
Another way you can use it is to perform immediate actions instead of scheduled ones. Select the action on the General tab from the Immediate action drop-down list, and then press Go.
Why is this method better than others?
When you search for a way to schedule the shutdown procedure of a Windows computer or device, you find many websites telling you to use the Task Scheduler in Windows or the Command Prompt, where you run the shutdown command with a particular parameter. While all these methods work well, most users prefer to avoid them because they are somewhat technical. In the end, most users have not even heard about the Task Scheduler, or when they see the Command Prompt, they feel lost and want to get out.
Using Simple Shutdown Scheduler is better because it involves using a simple app for this task, that anyone can download, install and use. Clicking on things that are easy to understand and use is always preferred to using an admin's tool like the Task Scheduler.
