The Event Viewer contains, although often well-hidden, some useful info.
Here's how to determine your Boot & Shutdown times:
Type Event Viewer in Search (when it pops up, right click run as administrator)
First wait for the Event Viewer to be populated-watch the Summary of Administrative Events section.
Now, using the left-hand pane tunnel down as follows:
Applications and services logs | Microsoft | Windows | Diagnostics-Performance | Operational
Right-click on Operational.
In the top-section of the middle pane, various events are listed.
Click on EventID to sort the events from smallest to largest.
EventID 100 is for Boot Performance.
EventID 200 is for Shutdown Performance
You may find some of the other events to also be of interest.
