Introducing SteamShutdown

If your Internet connection isn't all that fast, downloading a game or update from Steam can take a very long time. Unfortunately, Steam cannot shut down your computer once a download has been completed, but there are third-party utilities that offer this functionality.

Key Features:

• Automatically shuts down your PC or puts it in sleep or hibernation mode after downloads are completed


• No installation required, simply unpack and run the file


• Minimized to the system tray for easy access


• Ability to select specific downloads to trigger the action upon completion


• Option to wait until all downloads are completed before taking any action

If one or more downloads are active on Steam, you can right-click the application’s tray icon to select which of them should trigger an action when they are finished. If more than one is selected, the program will wait until they are all completed before doing anything.

Alternatively, you can just select the “Complete all downloads” option, which ensures no actions are performed until every download and update is finished.

Convenient and Efficient

If you like to leave your computer running in order to finish Steam downloads, an application like SteamShutdown will likely come in handy. It will ensure your PC doesn't stay on any longer than necessary and can be configured easily. Since it only runs in the system tray, it is very unobtrusive as well.
