    Is there a way to see how long a process has been running

    Hello.

    Is there a way to see how long a process has been running in a current
    Windows session? For an example, how long has calc.exe been running
    since it started? I also don't mean its CPU time either that I see in
    Task Manager. I just want to know how when it started.

    Thank you in advance.

    To find and display a process and when it started try Process Explorer:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/s.../bb896653.aspx

    Once you have Process Explorer installed and running:
    In the taskbar menu select 'View' and check:
    'Show Process Tree' and the 'Show Lower Pane' options.

    Next right click on any column and 'select columns'
    Now click on the 'Process Performance' tab and
    check the 'Start Time' box.

    Process Explorer from the MS web site. Double click the process you are
    interested in and the start time is on the first tab.

    You're welcome.
    Process Explorer has a lot of features so experiment/explorer a little.
