The usual interpretation of "time of CPU" here is system uptime — how long Windows has been running since the last boot. asked that clarification, and and pointed to tools that do this. Below are additional, practical ways to get the same information on Windows XP (and newer), plus a simple persistent-logging idea if you want a boot history.

For a quick GUI check (XP and later): open Task Manager and look at the Performance tab for the "Up time" value. From a command prompt you can get precise boot time:

wmic os get lastbootuptime

This returns the last boot timestamp you can convert to an elapsed time. Another command that shows a human-readable "since" line is:

net statistics workstation

Look for the "Statistics since" timestamp near the top of that output. Both methods require a command prompt.

If you want an authoritative boot timestamp without parsing, check the System event log in Event Viewer and find the first "Event log service started" / boot-related entries after the last restart — their timestamps mark the boot time.

For a persistent record (a simple version of 's idea), add a tiny startup task or batch that appends the current date/time to a log file, for example:

echo %date% %time% >> C:\bootlog.txt

Notes and cautions: sleep/hibernate or service restarts can make different tools report slightly different values (some report time since last resume or since a service restart). For clarity, use the WMIC/Event Viewer methods when you need the exact OS boot time. If the intent was to find CPU clock speed instead of uptime, that is a different check (BIOS or a small hardware utility is used to read CPU frequency).

Do you wish to know how long your PC has been running since it was booted up?

Sounds like you'd need a program to do that. You may be able to download one, but why not write it yourself? The hardest part is the calculations.

Output the time and date to a file, then upon execution of the program have it read those two values (place a simple file in either the startup folder or autoexec.bat) and calculate how much time the computer has been on, or at least loaded that part of the OS... Simple, effective, uses only a little hard drive space (less than 1k, I'm sure), and only uses RAM during program execution.

To find the uptime in W98:
Start, Programs , accessories, System Tools, System information.
Right collum, 4 down= uptime
