Probably not exactly what you’re looking for but I use a batch file to accomplish this (in linux but windows should be similar). For example:

<span style="color:#323232;">#!/bin/bash
</span><span style="color:#323232;">sleep 2h && steam
</span><span style="color:#323232;">sleep 8h && killall steam
</span>

Executing that will wait 2 hours, start steam so it can download whatever it wants while I sleep, then shut steam down 6* hours later before other people start needing to use the internet.

*maybe 8 hours, I can’t remember now if it runs commands sequentially or in parallel.

Edit: better single line command for linux:

(sleep 2h; steam) & (sleep 8hr; killall steam) &
