PC/Server uptime?

How long has my PC been running for? Often you want to find out as you need to know if your PC or server has rebooted.

There are a quite a few software tools out there on the net that can do that for you, but you don’t need them. I’ll show you a couple of ways (and I’m sure there is more).

* Open up a command prompt (Start>Run type in cmd and press enter)
* Type the following command: Systeminfo | Find “Up Time” (! Case sensitive)

This will take a few seconds and you will see messages that Windows is loading certain information. Eventually you’ll get an output similar to this:

System Up Time: 1 Days, 0 Hours, 57 Minutes, 18 Seconds

The other way is even simpler.

* Again, open up a command prompt
* Type in net statistics workstation
* you get a few lines of info but the one you are looking for will look something like this:
