use the uptime.exe command that you can download from Microsoft's website. It will give you a lot of extra statistics like longest time up, reason for reboot (crash or user inititiated etc...)

thanks that tool is good


but it basically jus reads the event log

so it only goes back as far as you have logs for it

Have a look at psuptime from

not sure how it works but may be worth checking out.

Bit more info for you:

Sysinternals Freeware - Information for Windows NT and Windows 2000 - PsUptime
...PsUptime tells you how long an WinNT/2K system has been up. It uses the Performance Data Helper library to easily read the System Up Time performance counter on the local machine or the machine you specify by name on the command...

The easy way to do that is use net command. quoted from

How to check status of my computer

Net statistics server command provides the statistics for a computer, such as computer start time, sessions, system errors, permission violations and file accessed.
