I’ve installed Canon EOS Utility and want to know whether it can be programmed to take a set number of photos automatically, such as 10, 15, or 40 shots in a sequence. If so, can it also control timing between shots or other exposure settings?

I am unsure about EOS Utilities working for the number of shots in a row but an Android App Called DSLR Controller (Beta) works really well with my T4i and when i had a T2i. I havent tested it for the 7D mark ii yet. If you can get a micro usb to micro usb or an android tablet with a USB Port for the standard cord. the app lets you program lots of settings like number of pictures, at how many seconds apart, aperture, shutter speed, iso, change settings by brightness after each photo, etc.
I used it for a time lapse of completing the patio in my backyard a few years back and it worked pretty well, to make a time laps of my buddies wedding head table, to get self photos where 10 seconds isn't enough time to get behind the camera, review my RAW images while I'm on the road some where and want to see it on a larger screen.
I would really recommend looking into it and see if it might work for your Canon Camera.
DSLR Controller (BETA) - it costs about $7.99 (CAD or USD, i forget)

Yes. Canon EOS Utility can be used to program a specific number of shots automatically. Based on the community answers, it can also set the interval between shots, and in some cases control exposure settings such as shutter speed and aperture. Exposure bracketing is also supported.
So if your goal is something like taking 10, 15, or 40 photos in a timed sequence, EOS Utility should be able to do that. The exact options may vary by camera model and EOS Utility version, so it’s worth checking the EOS Utility instruction manual for your version and camera.
If you need an alternative remote-control solution, one answer also mentions the Android app DSLR Controller, which offers shot count, interval control, and other camera setting adjustments on supported Canon cameras.
