Following are eight ways to find the Uptime in Windows OS   1  By using the Task Manager  In Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008  the Task Manager has been beefed up to show additional information about the system  One of these pieces of info is the server   s running time    Right-click on the Taskbar  and click Task Manager  You can also click CTRL SHIFT ESC to get to the Task Manager  In Task Manager  select the Performance tab  The current system uptime is shown under System or Performance  rArr  CPU for Win 8 10      2  By using the System Information Utility  The systeminfo command line utility checks and displays various system statistics such as installation date  installed hotfixes and more  Open a Command Prompt and type the following command   systeminfo   You can also narrow down the results to just the line you need   systeminfo   find  System Boot Time       3  By using the Uptime Utility  Microsoft have published a tool called Uptime exe  It is a simple command line tool that analyses the computer s reliability and availability information  It can work locally or remotely  In its simple form  the tool will display the current system uptime  An advanced option allows you to access more detailed information such as shutdown  reboots  operating system crashes  and Service Pack installation   Read the following KB for more info and for the download links      MSKB232243  Uptime exe Tool Allows You to Estimate Server Availability with Windows NT 4 0 SP4 or Higher    To use it  follow these steps    Download uptime exe from the above link  and save it to a folder  preferably in one that s in the system s path  such as SYSTEM32   Open an elevated Command Prompt window  To open an elevated Command Prompt  click Start  click All Programs  click Accessories  right-click Command Prompt  and then click Run as administrator  You can also type CMD in the search box of the Start menu  and when you see the Command Prompt icon click on it to select it  hold CTRL SHIFT and press ENTER  Navigate to where you ve placed the uptime exe utility  Run the uptime exe utility  You can add a    to the command in order to get more options      It does not offer many command line parameters   C  uptimefromcodeplex  gt  uptime    usage  Uptime  -V      -V   display version  C  uptimefromcodeplex  gt  uptime -V version 1 1 0   3 1  By using the old Uptime Utility  There is an older version of the  uptime exe  utility  This has the advantage of NOT needing  NET   It also has a lot more features beyond simple uptime    Download link  Windows NT 4 0 Server Uptime Tool  uptime exe   final x86    C  uptimev100download gt uptime exe     UPTIME  Version 1 00  C  Copyright 1999  Microsoft Corporation  Uptime  server    s     a    d mm dd yyyy    p n    heartbeat         help          server          Name or IP address of remote server to process           s              Display key system events and statistics           a              Display application failure events  assumes  s            d              Only calculate for events after mm dd yyyy           p              Only calculate for events in the previous n days           heartbeat      Turn on off the system s heartbeat                         Basic usage           help           Additional usage information    4  By using the NET STATISTICS Utility  Another easy method  if you can remember it  is to use the approximate information found in the statistics displayed by the NET STATISTICS command  Open a Command Prompt and type the following command   net statistics workstation   The statistics should tell you how long it   s been running  although in some cases this information is not as accurate as other methods     5  By Using the Event Viewer  Probably the most accurate of them all  but it does require some clicking  It does not display an exact day or hour count since the last reboot  but it will display important information regarding why the computer was rebooted and when it did so  We need to look at Event ID 6005  which is an event that tells us that the computer has just finished booting  but you should be aware of the fact that there are virtually hundreds if not thousands of other event types that you could potentially learn from   Note  BTW  the 6006 Event ID is what tells us when the server has gone down  so if there   s much time difference between the 6006 and 6005 events  the server was down for a long time   Note  You can also open the Event Viewer by typing eventvwr msc in the Run command  and you might as well use the shortcut found in the Administrative tools folder    Click on Event Viewer  Local  in the left navigation pane  In the middle pane  click on the Information event type  and scroll down till you see Event ID 6005  Double-click the 6005 Event ID  or right-click it and select View All Instances of This Event  A list of all instances of the 6005 Event ID will be displayed  You can examine this list  look at the dates and times of each reboot event  and so on  Open Server  Manager tool by right-clicking the Computer icon on the start menu  or on the Desktop if you have it enabled  and select Manage  Navigate to the Event Viewer      5 1  Eventlog via PowerShell  Get-WinEvent -ProviderName eventlog   Where-Object     Id -eq 6005 -or    Id -eq 6006    6  Programmatically  by using GetTickCount64     GetTickCount64 retrieves the number of milliseconds that have elapsed since the system was started    7  By using WMI  wmic os get lastbootuptime   8  The new uptime exe for Windows XP and up  Like the tool from Microsoft  but compatible with all operating systems up to and including Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016  this uptime utility does not require an elevated command prompt and offers an option to show the uptime in both DD HH MM SS and in human-readable formats  when executed with the -h command-line parameter     Additionally  this version of uptime exe will run and show the system uptime even when launched normally from within an explorer exe session  i e  not via the command line  and pause for the uptime to be read     and when executed as uptime -h
