  I'd like to be able to use QAP to tunr off my computer in 10 or 15 minutes.
  
  Is it possible ?

  There are multiple ways to do this.
  
  I would create a batch / cmd file with shutdown -s -t and the number of seconds you want such as shutdown -s -t 600 .
  
  The create a Favorite of type Application and point to the above cmd file.

  Hi,
  
  thanks for your asnwer ! I did it too in batch (shutdown.exe -s -t 900 -f) but had an issue : If I discard the action for any reason, then launch it again, it doesn't seem to work the second time in my session.
  
  Any idea why ?

  There is a boatload of tools out there for this depending on what you want/need to do.
  
  PsShutdown by Microsoft Sysinternals
  https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysint...psshutdown
  
  Don't Sleep by SoftwareOK
  
  Shutter Lite by den4b
  
  Pshutdown, Kshutdown, etc.
  
  My go-to tool is PsShutdown.

  Thanks a lot Joe ! Kshutdown seems the one to go for in my case !

  Gio710,
  
  Another solution is built-in to Quick Access Popup. If you add a Favorite of type "QAP Feature", one of the options is "Shutdown computer".
  I'm not sure if you can set a delay or not.

  That favorite is just a Yes/No box.
  
  Another way to solve it is to create a batch file (to avoid the OPs discard problem).
  This file just waits for specified time, f.ex by using use {Input:Wait Time} to send it as a param to the file.

  EDIT: Sorry, the deleted content above was pure nonsense (note to self, never multi task while posting).
  Put "shutdown /t 0 /f" in the same batch file.

  Code:

  @echo off
:: timeout in seconds
timeout /t %1
:: shutdown below
shutdown /t 0 /f
