Any way to determine when your computer was last rebooted?

Question

Is there an option in Windows that keeps track when your computer was last rebooted?

Solution 1

Just run cmd.exe with this command

systeminfo| find "System Boot Time"

For others solutions go to http://www.walkernews.net/2008/06/18/how-to-check-windows-last-boot-up-time/

Solution 2

It will be in the event logs.

Fire up Event Viewer and select the System log from Windows Logs in the tree on the left.

There will be a lot of log entries in there, so click Filter Current Log... on the right and filter it for the Kernel-General log source only.

You will then find entries saying such things as:

The operating system started at system time ‎2011‎-‎03‎-‎09T00:04:30.375199800Z.

and

The operating system is shutting down at system time ‎2011‎-‎03‎-‎09T00:00:10.192212700Z.

It's not accurate if your machine goes to sleep/hibernate.
