In CMD you can use "timeout" or in PowerShell you can use "Start-Sleep" to start a 180s timer. Just create a script with the timeout command followed by the SetSuspendSleep command.

Or if you want it in one line you can do

Code:

timeout /t 180&&rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState Sleep

Sorry, forgot to mention that "&&" only works in CMD. You use ";" to concatenate commands in PowerShell.

This shut down my PC instead of sleeping it.

Hello @Frank15,

In a CMD Prompt try . . .

Code:


timeout 180 /nobreak >nul && %SystemRoot%\System32\rundll32.exe powrprof.dll, SetSuspendState 0,1,0

I hope this helps.
