      I did get it right. I literally used that command in a Windows activation hack.

        Start by using / instead of - like all other old build in windows comands then read the docs and find you need /p or /s or /r to tell it what to do

        then /t 0 does nothing, /t 1 (or higher) actually sets and timer and implicitly sets /f as well

        you’d know this if you had actually entered that command. Cuz that’s the info it prints when you get it wrong

          Yeah, you’re both right and wrong at the same time. I missed an argument.

          shutdown -s -f -t 0

          Not /, it’s -

          I never suggested I was running Windows 11, this is for Windows XP. I just double and triple checked, it’s not /, it’s -

              Thank you. That just means I have more experience than you.

                  Thanks. I happen to have arranged Windows 3.11 to be live bootable from a single floppy disk. I call it WinFlop. Various versions of it actually, including a build with a taskbar and start menu.

                  I also made a companion disk, Diagnostic Utilities, that includes not only basic diagnostic utilities, but also CD, USB, and NTFS drivers.

                  I’ll be around all week. I’d share a link, but not much point right now, the Internet Archive is still apparently down ☹️

                    Cool! Let’s hope the archive is remains up, and if not we’ve got a community backup project coming up
