Windows 10: How do I schedule my computer to shut down automatically at the same time every night?

Is it possible to schedule my computer to shut down automatically at the same time every night?If so, how is this done?Is there any way to do this without having to do complex coding or coding at all? I hate being compelled to do coding as I fear I'm going to mess something up, as I have very little experience coding.

Night light schedule not working

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

We understand your concern as you are unable to schedule the time for Night Light feature in Windows 10. In order to get clarity and to assist you accordingly, please reply with the answers to the questions below.

• What is the Windows 10 version and Build installed? (Type
  winver in Windows search/Run command)
  
• Are you aware of any changes, prior to this issue?

Meanwhile, we would suggest you to update the display driver from Device Manager.

1. Press Windows + X and select
   Device Manager.
   
2. Scroll down and expand Display Adapters. Now Right click on the display devices and select
   Update Driver.
   
3. Select Search automatically for updated driver software.
   
4. Select Update Driver.
   
5. Restart the PC and check

If the issue persists even after updating the driver, then we would suggest you to make the below registry change.

1. Press Windows +R key to open
   run command.
   
2. Type regedit and click on
   Ok.
   
3. Navigate to this location: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\CloudStore\Store\Cache\DefaultAccount
   
4. Here, delete the following sub keys
   
   1. $$windows.data.bluelightreduction.bluelightreductionstate
      
   2. $$windows.data.bluelightreduction.settings
      

Note: Important this section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow
these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

Follow the steps to take backup of registry

After deleting the registry sub keys, restart the PC and then enable Night Light feature from Windows settings.

Let us know how it goes.
