Schedule Your Windows Shutdowns & Avoid Restart After Hibernation

What is the Hibernator & Shutdown Scheduler?

You can schedule your computer to hibernate, sleep, or shut down at a specific time. For example, if your PC is running a long task and you need to leave, you can set it to shut down automatically later.

As a bonus: some Windows PCs have an odd quirk — they hibernate, but then restart right afterward. This small utility includes a feature called “Avoid restarting after hibernation”. The tool can’t technically stop Windows from restarting after hibernation, but it monitors the system for 60 seconds after it has restarted. If it detects that the PC has restarted within that time, it automatically triggers hibernation again. In most cases, that resolves the issue.

No installation is required — just run the executable file. It’s completely free, so enjoy!

Hibernator & Shutdown Scheduler Description

Originally, I planned to sell this tool for $4.99, but I haven’t had the time to set up the payment and licensing system yet. So for now, I figured — why not let everyone enjoy it for free?

Eventually, I hope to release a licensed Pro version with additional features once I have the time to work on it. Until then, if you’ve already downloaded the free version, enjoy it — and stay tuned for updates!

And of course, you are always welcome to donate! Thank you.

There’s no installation required — the program comes as a simple .exe file. Just copy the folder to any location you like, and it’s ready to run.

If you want quicker access, you can create a shortcut or pin it to your Windows taskbar. That way, you can launch it instantly without digging through folders. Many people prefer setting it up this way (and so do I by the way).

I understand the concern — safety comes first. If you’d like extra peace of mind, you can upload the file to VirusTotal.

It’s a trusted service that scans any file against dozens of well-known antivirus programs worldwide. I recommend it to anyone, not just for my software but for any download you want to double-check.

Beyond that, you have my personal guarantee: the file is 100% safe. I’m a professional software developer based in San Diego, working at Blue Media Marketing, Inc. This site and the tools I share here are part of a side project and hobby — not my main job. Writing helpful tools is what I enjoy; spreading malware is absolutely not what I do.

The tool is designed with Windows 11 in mind, since it helps fix the annoyance of Hibernation restart on Windows 11.

That said, it should also work on Windows 10 and possibly older versions. The easiest way to check is to try it out.

No: this tool won’t interfere with Windows’ own existing hibernation. The tool also doesn’t conflict with Windows components.
