4Eyes Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Under Windows 7 I can set up a scheduled task to shutdown a pc at a predetermined time IF it is logged in, but this does not work when it's logged out? It just sits there.... I'm pretty sure that PowerOff 3 used to do this under XP but doesn't work correctly with Win 7 64 bit. Does this sound like the program doing the shutdown would need to run as a service? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim H. Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 In task scheduler, on the "General" tab, do you not have the "Run whether user is logged on or not" radio buttion option? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4Eyes Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 @JohnOne, I'm well aware of Shutdown() but dunno if it works while logged off which was the point of this thread. Thanks for your suggestion though. @Tim H, that's it! I didn't even see that option but it works a treat. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 @JohnOne,I'm well aware of Shutdown() but dunno if it works while logged off which was the point of this thread. Thanks for your suggestion though.How much effort did you do to test it? It probably took longer to reply than it would have taken to write a 2 line script that tests the suggestion. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

4Eyes Posted March 18, 2013 Author Share Posted March 18, 2013 To finish this thread I can confirm that a compiled exe does not run while logged off under Windows XP. I haven't tested under Windows 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
