Software to lock and shutdown PC

[GraemeUK]

Hey guys,
Can anyone recommend free or paid software to lock and shutdown a Windows 10 pc at certain times please? I've searched around a lot and theres various ways of doing it, most have drawbacks one way or the other, so I was just wanting to get some personal recommendations if possible?
Cheers

Why not use the built in task scheduler in Windows? It can do what you are wanting.

I did try that and I've got no idea why but it was hit and miss. Its to log my son off his PC, but sometimes it didnt run and I dont know why.

I set up the wifi router to turn his internet off at bedtime until morning which works fine, but then he was just playing single player games lol. The task scheduler was turning the PC off sometimes I think but he was going back on it. I work a lot of nightshift so I couldn't physically check on him to make sure he was off, and because his internet goes off I couldn't use remote desktop, plus I'm working so don't get time.

I found this small app which has a password protection on the settings, seems to do what I need I will give it a go:https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/autooff.html
