I have just reset my network connection the other day. Is there any other way to tell how long Windows has been up for? However, my other network connection says 18 days. Pretty impressive for a main computer that has a load of shit installed that I use for everything.

I use this on Windows, and it is the perfect little tool. Nothing beats `uptime` though. ;-)

Isn't there a way to see how long a process has been running? Just do a little math with running time from explorer.
I think my best was 37 days, before the system locked up. It was a dual p133 server that does nothing but give me an extra harddrive on my network. It'll randomly lock up occationally.

umm...don't betas normally time-out in 90 or 150 days? Well, anyway, I just don't see how you can get high windows uptime when critical patches comes out weekly...maybe possible for an isolated server.

There is console based uptime tool, which I use at work also:

This build you really can't "Update" it because the updates you see are not meant for this build. Another thing is I happen to be a MS beta tester so there is no timer. Also if you remember about 1 1/2 year ago MS sent out beta testers the 20 CD kit this happened to the be one of many flavors of Win .NET/2003

How would you even know when to end this? This could go on for decades...

Someone will get shut down, then someone else will be in the leader. It will never stop.

Yeah go to Task Manager under Processes Tab and look at the time. Shows how long eachand every process has been up for.

Well the power went out and of course UPS's also work and last so long. I will be posting a picture sometime this week of the uptime I got. Sadly I know it was at 151 days. But I only have a picture of 148 days. This has been a sad day the file server and it never has been the same.

R.I.P. Windows Uptime.
