Windows 10: shutdown command not working

Hi, I'd like to make use of the shutdown command, but it doesn't seem to work.I'm trying to run shutdown /h /t 600in CMD, it just gives me the help menu. if running it in the run Win+R, a CMD window pops up for a second but nothing happens.I've also tried replacing the slashes with a - symbol for both, no difference.

:)

 

GPU-Z what command line parameter ?

Suggestion: /? (-?) and /help (-help) command-line arguments to show a list of all possible arguments in a small window. *Smile

Windows Shutdown.exe or shutdown command not working Windows 11

Hello, Pre Hesap

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

It seems that you're experiencing issues with the Windows Shutdown.exe or shutdown command in Windows 11. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try:

1. Check if the shutdown command is available: Open the command prompt and type "shutdown /?" (without quotes) to display the help documentation for the shutdown command. If you see the help information, it means the command is available and functioning properly.
   
2. Verify the syntax of the shutdown command: Ensure that you are using the correct syntax for the shutdown command. The basic syntax is: "shutdown [/s] [/r] [/g] [/a] [/p] [/f] [/m \<computername>] [/t <xxx>] [/d [p|u:]<xx>:<yy> [/c <comment>]]". Make sure you're providing the necessary parameters and options for the desired shutdown action. Or you could share with me the commands you use.
   
3. Check for any conflicting applications: Some third-party software or utilities can interfere with the shutdown process. Temporarily disable any antivirus or system optimization software and see if the issue persists. Additionally, check if any recently installed programs may be causing conflicts.
   

For your reference, here is my own procedure by creating a shortcut and connecting it to the system's shutdown.exe:



Right-click on a blank space on your desktop, New, select Shortcut, and paste the following command in the shortcut's input box:

[table][tr]

[/tr][/table]
After completing the process of creating this shortcut, double-click on it to run it and observe if your PC shuts down.

Hope it helps! If any update, welcome to share with us.
