        private int counter = 10;


        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();

            timer1 = new System.Windows.Forms.Timer();

            timer1 = new System.Windows.Forms.Timer();
            timer1.Tick += new EventHandler(timer1_Tick);

If I want shutdown the computer at the time I need, then skip all the windows ask about saving file, What code to add bellow.

If you want to force the Shutdown, use the EWX_FORCE flag with ExitWindowsEx
like in this thread

@MiPakTeh , based on my research, It is hard to use to c# code to skip all the windows that mention saving file.

However, I find a workaround to set Registry to shut down the computer directly.

First, Please Open Registry and Go to HKEY_USERS.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop.

Second, Please click Edit > New > String Value.

Third, Please Give it the name AutoEndTasks and set Value data to 1 and click OK.

Finally, Please restart your computer to save the effect.

Based on my test, after I execute the above steps, I can use the code to shut down the computer directly.
