The following steps can be used for both Windows 10 and Windows 11 devices, but for demonstration purposes we will be using a Windows 11 device.
1.1. On your Windows device, open the "Start" menu and search "Task Scheduler".
1.2. In your Task Scheduler Library, select "Create Basic Task" on the right hand side of the menu.
1.3. Next give a name to the task you want to create, for example, "Windows Launcher", then select "Next".
1.4. Select how often you would like the device to turn off, either daily or monthly, and then select "Next".
1.5. Select "Start a program" then select "Next".
1.6. You will be prompted to fill in the arguments for the program you wish to start. Type "shutdown" in the Program/script section.
1.7. Next, you need to add an argument. Type in: /s /f /t 0 and then select "Next".
1.8. Next, give your task a name such as "Shutdown @ 11 PM" and then select "Finish".
2. Configure BIOS settings to start up your device
2.1. To open the BIOS settings, turn off your Windows device and as you turn it back on press and hold either the "F2" button or the "Delete" button.

2.7. Now set the time you would like your device to start up. Keep in mind you must set the time using a 24-hour clock. (Hour: Minute: Second).
2.8. If you would like your Windows device to start up only on specific days of the week, select the "Wake Up on Alarm" and select "User-Defined".
2.9. Next scroll down to the "User-Defined Alarm" section, select "Enter", and by using the up and down arrow keys, select which days of the week you would like your Windows device to start up on by changing the option from disabled to "Enabled".
