As the title says, the typical shutdown /s /t xx
command doesn't work when I run it from a script. Instead of shutting down after x
seconds, it only runs the shutdown
part, and ignores the arguments. However, if I type it manually in a Command Prompt window, it executes correctly. I tried running other commands from a script like ipconfig /all
and I have no problems. Is this a general Windows 10 problem or did I mess up with something on my computer?
P.S. I get the same results with Powershell as well.
Test this as a diagnostic step.
@echo off
"c:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe" /s /t 20
pause
