Can bigbox auto shutdown PC after inactivity

[CX123]

Can bigbox be configured to automatically shutdown or at least put to sleep windows 10 PC after a certain time period of inactivity?

Also if so, can attract mode be on or did t that have to be off? (When I say attract mode, I mean where big box just keeps randomly scrolling through games when no one is playing it)

This can be handled with AHK. Shutdown if idle more than X. For ex, this uses 5 mins, adjust to your liking. Slip it into LaunchBox Startup Apps and set it to run only when Big Box launches

Loop {
	If (A_TimeIdle >= 300000)
		Shutdown, 8
	Process, Exist, BigBox.exe
	If (ErrorLevel = 0)
		ExitApp	
}

FYI this was tested with attract mode running.  Artificial inputs from Big Box have no impact on the built in AHK var A_TimeIdle and script works as intended

 

Edit.....I re-read your comment and seems vague now lol. Did you mean to shutdown the PC or "shutdown" (close) Big Box and PC stays on?
