Checking Your Computer Uptime on Windows 11

Checking your computer's uptime on Windows 11 allows you to see how long your system has been running since the last restart. Here's how to do it:

Using Task Manager:

Right-click on the taskbar at the bottom of your screen to open the context menu.

From the context menu, select "Task Manager." This will open the Task Manager window.

In the Task Manager window, you'll see a list of processes and performance-related information.

Click the "More details" link at the bottom of the window to expand Task Manager and show additional tabs.

In the expanded view, click on the "Performance" tab.

In the left sidebar, select "CPU." This will display more details about your computer's performance.

Look for the "Up time" field on the right. This field will show you how long your computer has been running since the last restart.

Using Command Prompt:

Press "Win + X" on your keyboard and select "Windows Terminal" or "Command Prompt" from the context menu.

In the Command Prompt or Windows Terminal window, type the following command and press "Enter":

systeminfo | find "System Boot Time"

The command will provide information about the system boot time, showing how long your computer has been running since the last restart.

Checking your computer's uptime can be useful for tracking system performance and identifying when a restart may be necessary to apply updates or resolve issues.
