Shut Down Computer Remotely

You can shut down a Windows computer remotely over a network using commands. This comes in handy for me when I don’t have the energy to go all the way downstairs to shut my desktop computer off. So I use my laptop from the upstairs bedroom to send the following command via Start > Run.
shutdown /m \\computername -f -s
You can also add -t 60 to give tell it to shut down in 60 seconds. You can replace the 60 with the amount of seconds you wish. Perfect for when you’re trying to send the message to your child to wrap it up and go to bed.
As a note, you need to be logged into an account that has administrator rights to the computer you are shutting down.
