Windows XP:

1. Press ctrl+r to bring the run dialogue box.

2. Now type in cmd to open command prompt.

3. Without worrying about where the cursor is, just type in systeminfo.

4. Scroll the generated information to find a row containing the system uptime.

Windows vista and 7

For windows vista and seven you can simply check the uptime in the task manager.

1. Press ctrl+shift+esc to open up the task manager directly in vista and seven. (no intermediate screen). If your task manager has been disabled due to a bug attack you can use this to enable it once again.

2. Now go to the performance tab.

3. You can find the system uptime below the real time graphs.

In vista and Windows 7 the XP method works but it won’t tell you the uptime directly. That method tells you when you last switched ON your computer (the date and time). The math is left for you to be done.
