    Can you set PC to auto shutdown in power saver?


    I am able to tell my PC to sleep after a certain amount of time but I would like to know if there is a way to tell it to totally shutdown instead. Thanks for your help

    i.e. last night I fell asleep and my pc stayed on all night without ever sleeping or shutting down!

    Sure. Take a look at this: Power Plan Settings - Change

    You might consider either Hybrid Sleep or Hibernate.

    looks like my best bet is to let it hibernate because shutdown doesn't seem to be an option. Thanks, Dwarf

    you are big in my heart :)

Hi all, I've had this problem for a few weeks now. My auto sleep function of either my monitor or screen saver won't work well, soon after a computer restart. Right after a restart things are working normally, but after say 5 hours it doesn't work. It seems that my computer won't idle then. ...
