  • Have you tried turning it off

    C:\Documents and Settings\User>systeminfo | find "Up"
    System Up Time: 6 Days, 1 Hours, 4 Minutes, 54 Seconds

    ...and that is only because I was forced to recover a recent Restore
    point 6 days ago. System uptime is typically 30 to 60 days on my T60
    before I need to do a full shutdown or Restart to refresh a finicky USB
    port.

    Likewise with my T440P. I always hibernate and the SSD is
    lightning fast.

    With the little bit of use I've had with the T540p and the SSD, it comes
    up within 10 seconds after a full shut shutdown, but I haven't finished
    the Win10 registration yet.


    I'm running into more and more problems at my job, people
    who hibernate/sleep their laptops for weeks on end and don't
    log into the domain controllers on boot. I'm sounding like
    *that* guy -- "Have you tried turning it off and back on
    again?"

    I know! I'll have friends call me too, and usually a full off/on makes
    their problem go away. Their problems can depend on a combination of
    other things they are putting the OS through.

    I have 3 pcs connected to my work network. I just hibernate at the end
    of the day. No problem for months. I hate the Win7 updates that force me
    to reboot.

    I am not a fan of Suspend/Sleep. I want to maximize battery use when
    lugging a laptop around, and I don't want a surprise if a pc was in
    Sleep and I get a power outtage overnight. So a Hibernate is a better
    option all around.

    What version of Windows are you using? My Windows 10 systeminfo displays "System Boot Time" (like shown here: https://www.nextofwindows.com/uptime-from-a-remote-windows-computer) but not "System Up Time". How'd you get that value displayed using systeminfo?

    Hello digital man,

    How I did it is shown on the command line, digital dummy. :) I do say
    that most respectfully. Systeminfo seems to behave differently across
    the OSes. It is the result on the TP60 w/XP that I hibernate.

    I haven't rebooted yet another XP pc in a loooong time from hibernate.
    I'll post its up time shortly. It may blow your mind.

    Okay, XP, got it. Looks like a "feature" that Microsoft has since removed.

    Here is the report from my Lenovo G530 (XP)

    C: \Documents and Settings\August>systeminfo | find "Up Time"
    System Up Time: 97 Days, 2 Hours, 44 Minutes, 16 Seconds

    Hibernation is sweet.

    It's a shame to remove the ability to report operation time since the last full reboot.

    The Windows 10 systeminfo still reports "System Boot Time", so I guess you can just do the math. <shrug>
