to auto start your pc from swithed off at a set time and date ,the settings are in your bios you can change date and time to what you want for the pc to switch on. then in task scheduler you set what programs you want to come on either at start up or log in at desired times.

Computers do not turn off on schedule unless a scheduled process is causing it.
Turn off your antivirus and firewall next Saturday, too. They are the source of so many problems
