Windows Shutdown Timer v2.1.0.0

What's New

There is now an option to be notified prior to windows shutting down. This uses the old method of the command line combined with the task scheduler rather than a pure task scheduler approach. While it works and does exactly what the option describes, it could result in an inaccurate "time remaining" since there isn't a true reliable way to verify the time remaining like with the task scheduler. So for that reason, I recommend keeping the setting off unless you don't care and just want a notification prior to windows shutting down.

Settings are now saved after an upgrade. So you shouldn't need to re-do your settings anymore.

This works on Windows 10, 8.1, 8, and 7.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed the program sometimes not being in the foreground after an action is executed.
• Removed excess code resulting in minor performance increases.

Windows Shutdown Timer v2.0.0.0

What's New

Timer now adds a scheduled task rather than running the shutdown command through the command prompt directly. It will only create 1 task and it will modify that task rather than create it when it can. It otherwise has the same functionality on the user's end. But this allowed me to circumvent the blue shutdown banner or a dialog box being thrown up on the screen 15 or so minutes before the shutdown occurred.

This works on Windows 10, 8.1, 8, and 7. Everyone should use this version rather than any v1.x.x.x that they may have.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed minimization bug for windows 7 where it would show above the task bar rather than minimizing it.

Windows Shutdown Timer v1.4.0.0

What's New

Verified support for Windows 7.
Added the ability to simply press enter to submit the timer rather than having to click.
Fully switched over to a DateTime system to support longer timers.
Added reasons for the shutdown to the event viewer so any shutdown initiated by this program are documented.
Added an Exit option to the system tray.
Added a bug report button which redirects you to the issues page on github.
Changed the program start location to be the center of the screen rather than the top left.
Various performance improvements.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug where a large integer would result in a crash. Currently only integers [1, 5255999] are accepted.
• Fixed a bug in Windows 8/10 that upon first minimization after selecting the option to only display in the system tray, the program would minimize to right above the system tray. This also appeared in Windows 7.
• Fixed the issue where a timer would wrap around and start counting upwards when it hit 0 if the timer was ended outside of the program.
• Fixed a problem when restarting the application when there was an existing timer. Sometimes it would add random time to the timer or cut it to something very small.
• Fixed a bug that allows the options menu to be re-sizable.

What's New

Bug Fixes

• Fixed update bug causing the program to keep saying there is an update even if the client is the most recent version.
• Fixed bug where adding additional time to the timer and restarting the program would revert the changes.
• Stopped the program from being displayed by a right click on the system tray icon when the "Left click to open from system tray" is selected.
• Removed old package information.
