It's about,

that I want my notebook to start and shut down automatically twice a week so that all Windows updates are installed automatically and promptly.

I was able to set the automatic start for Monday and Thursday at 07:00 in the morning in the BIOS (see photo).

The notebook should also shut down automatically at 8:30 a.m. On Mondays and Thursdays.

-How can you set this in Windows 10?

-I guess it works through the task planning, doesn't it?

[I use Windows 10 20H2 as the operating system and am the sole user]

This is not possible in the BIOS, but as a command via the task scheduler in Windows.

In windows you can use

shutdown -s

Shut down windows. Simply use the task planner (execute Tssk Scheduler at these times)

I would switch on via BIOS, shut down via the shutdown script via the Windows task scheduler.

shutdown -s -t 10
