Vista - Uptime

Where can that statistic be found?

Type in Start, Search and press ENTER:

cmd /k systeminfo | find "System Boot Time"

Alternately, you can use the uptime.exe utility from Microsoft.

Determine the current system uptime:

NOTE: You'll need to open an elevated Command Prompt window to run the utility. To open an elevated Command Prompt, click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator.

Open Task Manager, Performance tab. Uptime is listed under System section.

Thanks Ramesh,

Interestingly, the uptime shown - 3/23 at 9:35:54 PM - is not
possible, as the PC had been asleep since several hours prior to that
time, and has not been rebooted since at least 3/22.^

As an experiment, I put the PC to sleep, then ran the above command
again. This time it reported 3/23 at 9:36:18 PM. The clock is
correctly set.

I know that I have run across uptime in a system reporting box in the
past, but cannot recall where. Perhaps I will test the MS tool.

Ah, sure enough - that's where I once spotted it. And it reports the
same bogus time as noted in my earlier post. Perhaps evil spirits
rebooted the box while I was away.^ Thanks.

Interesting, dev!

It works fine here. I checked the uptime, after using Sleep and Hibernate options, and it correctly reports the last reboot time. Haven't tried "Hybrid sleep" option yet. Are you leaving your system on "Hybrid sleep" by chance?

No, as a matter of fact, HYBRID was off.

Ran the command line again just now, and it seems to be correctly
reporting the last boot - even after sleep.

I left the dog at the PC while I was out. Humm...I wonder?

LOL! Perhaps he repaired it in the meantime.
