Rebooter is a lightweight utility designed to automate the process of shutting down, rebooting, and logging out of Windows PCs. It supports command-line operations, scheduled and looped reboots, and can be integrated into hardware stress testing workflows, particularly with PassMark BurnInTest but also compatible with third-party applications. The tool can also manage Windows auto-login settings for certain Windows versions and requires no installation—simply unzip and run the executable.
