Timed power off

I have a Presario CQ60 notebook (laptop).  I like listening to Internet radio, when I go to bed at night.  But I do not have my computer running all night after I fall asleep.  Is it possible for me to put a timer that automatically turn off the unit after a certain period of time?  Please notify.

Check out this free timer to see if it meets your needs:

Or you can use Windows 'Task Scheduler' to set up a stop for the same time every night:

    iOS 10, Siri invades even lock screen with power off

    Since the upgrade to iOS 10 (iPhone 5 s) siri appears when I forgetting to unlock my phone because I'm not used to this way to unlock yet. But siri on lock screen is disabled in the settings. I can close siri all together, but I don't consider it as an option.

    Is this a bug in the iOS 10 or did I miss something?

    Hello nick_ve,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    I see that since you have upgraded to iOS 10, Siri starts each time you try to unlock your iPhone and Siri on the lock screen is disabled in the settings. I completely understand, because when I upgraded, it took me a few tries to get adjusted to unlock with the Home key. I'm more than happy to help you with this.

    Press the Home button on your iPhone 5s once unlocks the screen, and freezes for more than one second will activate Siri. It is good to keep this in mind when you unlock your iPhone.

    There is also an alternative solution I would like to share with you. You can disable this option in settings > general > accessibility > Home button. Turn the finger remains open. You can unlock the iPhone with Touch ID without having to press the Home button.

    Have a wonderful day!

  • HP Color LaserJet M277dw MFP: Disable auto power off after inactivity for HP Color LaserJet M277dw MFP

    What is the purpose of mobile printing solutions if you cannot activate your home printer?
    My printer stop automatically after 8 hours of inactivity and therefore makes it impossible for me to use mobile printing. The printer is connected via WLAN (without active ports to stop the closing).
    In the configuration, there are only options to stop after 2, 4 or 8 hours. No option on disabling of automatic shutdown.
    Pls do that for the people who work on the firmware updates, they must include an option to disable auto power off, many people are already complaining that and nothing has changed so far.
    Its just illogical. You make big announcements for HP eprint and other stuff, but your printers are not able to do so even if you could theoretically make eprint if your standing next to your printer all day.
    I just got this printer pluged and installed and already tired of this BS!
    I know that there is no solution, so just send it to the people who can change it.

    for all of you who read this post, I was in contact with the technical team of HP and they said that they don't give you the ability to disable auto power off on purpose, it is HPs energy-economy-policy to do and there are no plans to change this in the future
    in my case, I only WLAN's, yet is not automatically stop (although it should be), I guess I'm lucky that my router it ping every now and then and is therefore not stop
    If you can't fix it yourself with active ports and may not have at all, it will probably not option left than the back of the printer

  • Pavilion 15: Power off

    I have to use the shift with off switch key (on windows 8) to power the laptop off, if I use only only its turning off the display only, but is always cut power off button.

    Hello

    Try disabling the hybrid Windows 8 start - you can do the following.

    Right-click the battery icon, and select Power Options.  In the next window, click on "Choose what the power button" in the left pane.

    In the next window, click on "Change settings that are currently unavailable" (close), then Remove the check mark from the box against 'Turn on a quick start (recommended) '.  Click on the button Save the settings, and then close all open windows and check if the laptop will now be shut down properly.

    If this has fixed the problem, it may be useful by turning the quick start back on - sometimes simply remove and re-create the file will solve the problem.

    Kind regards

  • Please explain power off icons

    On a 10 B8000 Yoga, when I choose to turn it off, I get a window which displays three lines:

    > Power off

    > Airplane mode

    and the third line has 4 icons:

    > a speaker with an X.

    > a tablet with two wavy lines,.

    > a speaker with two concentric arcs.

    > and two trees.

    I think that I understand the first 3, but what the heck are the two trees for?

    I tried to select and cannot tell any difference in the operation of my tablet.

    (Btw, I called Lenovo support with this question THREE TIMES and after speaking to FOUR rehearsals and lots and lots of waiting time, nobody knows the answer, most don't know what screen I hate...)

  • Re: Satellite L350D-131 keeps power off during use

    I got my Satellite L350D-131 28 days and it's been great, but on the last 48 hours I tried to add music to my laptop for when I go to college next week.
    But he keeps turn off use environment, there is no consistency about why it's power off.

    Can anyone help?

    Hello

    It is new laptop and something like that should not happen under normal circumstances.
    The question is how you use your laptop. If the laptop is placed on the bed and the cooling fan is blocked I guess this happens due to overheating.

    The laptop is placed on the desktop when this happens?
    Are you sure that the underside cooling fan is not blocked somehow?

  • Vista Home Premium, is stuck on the message "Please do not power off or unplug your Machine." Installation of update 1 of 1... ». Now what?

    Recently, I applied the latest service pack for the 32-bit version of Vista and have had frequent accidents of Internet Explorer. Today, he seems to have done an automatic update (that he did, and did often in the 3 years I've owned the computer). But he is frozen on the screen that says do not do "power off or unplug... installation update 1 of 1. It's a little scary, and I don't know what to do.

    I ran windows defender scan yesterday and the system was clean. Basic security hang after about 2/3 of green square were lit.

  • My computer is stuck on the 3/3 update, and even if I force power off and restart, that just guard on that happening. What can I do?

    I run windows vista on my pc, and every time that I turn it on, it just sits on the 3/3 update and will not progress. Even when I force my PC to power off and restart it, it continues to be. The first time he tried this update, I have dropped about 3 hours and returned to the configuration to update: stage 3 of 3-0% screen. Since it always happens. My pc is unusable because of this. What can I do?

    .. .my computer came pre-installed with vista, so I do not have a disk

    Not that I recommend a repair install, but the manufacturer was required to provide a way to reinstall Windows. If the computer came with a set of disks, there is a hidden partition restore (not to be confused with the restoration of the system) you would use to reinstall Vista.

    Assuming that Vista SP2 is not installed, I recommend you open a free support incident, NIC. See the link in my previous answer. ~ Robear Dyer (PA Bear) ~ MS MVP (that is to say, mail, security, Windows & Update Services) since 2002 ~ WARNING: MS MVPs represent or work for Microsoft

  • Canon IJ printer utility - disable auto power off

    The manual on my new printer MG2420 says I can "Disable Auto Power Off" of the power settings in the 'IJ Printer Utility'.  However, I have not an IJ Printer Utility in my Canon Utilities downloaded via a Mac driver.  Where is it, or if not, how can disable power off?  I want all the time.  Otherwise, the printer works perfectly.

    OK, no answers so I'll answer I am since I finally figured it.  On a Mac, go to "System Preferences" and click on "Printers & Scanners".  Then click on "Options and supplies."  Then click on "utility".  Then change the "cleansing" in "power settings".

    Then click on 'Auto Power'.  Then click on "Auto Power On" and "turn off".  Finally click 'done '.

    Of course, the Canon online manual is silent on this.
