Suppose I schedule a shutdown/restart in Windows, e.g.

shutdown /r /f /t 300

Is there a way that I can query how much time is left or at what time the restart will happen?

I can abort the shutdown,

shutdown /a

so, I presume that Windows is keeping track of this independently of the shell I used to schedule the shutdown.

How can I get this information? Basically, I'd like to be able to know how much time is left (or if there's an active shutdown currently scheduled)?

Check out the above links for reference.

I did some google FU, and there does not a appear to be a direct way to get the information you want. You ether have to some querying with power-shell or look in the event logs.
