Windows comes with a command line utility called Shutdown, which allows you to restart or shutdown your PC. Below are the arguments that I find useful to use.
| Argument | Description |
| -r | Restarts the PC |
| -s | Shuts down the PC |
| -t | Specifics how long in seconds the PC will wait before it either restarts or shuts down the PC. It this argument is nit used then a box will appear say the PC will shutdown less then a minute. |
| -o | Is used a shutdown argument boots to the advanced boot options menu |
| -fw | Combine with a shutdown option to cause the next boot to go to the firmware user interface. |
| -h | Puts your PC in hibernation mode. |
| -? | Gives you a list of arguments you can use with the shutdown command. |
Below is an example of the shutdown command that boots your PC to the advanced boot options menu in 0 seconds.
Shutdown -r -t 0 -o
I hope you find the of the shutdown command very useful.
