    I want Windows 10 to shut down after a certain period of time


    Hi
    I want Windows 10 to shut down after a certain period of time instead of sleep mode. For example, if I don't use my computer for say 20 minutes I want my computer to shut down rather than going to sleep mode or hibernate but I can't find such a choice. What can I do? I use windows 10 pro on my SSD drive so I don't want hibernate mode and sleep mode isn't enough.
    Thanks.

    My pc configuration : Q9300 processor, Gigabyte P43 Es3g mainboard, 8 gb of DDR 2 ram, Crucial MX500 250 gb SSD drive and HDD drives.

    :)

    How can I keep the Windows 10 Mobile Hotspot on permanantly?

    • Does it turn off automatically even when the computer is active?

    yes

    • Is your system currently set to go to sleep mode after a certain period of time?

    no

    • What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?

    nothing - I've looked online but can't find any suggestions about this issue

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
