Using Task Manager:
1. Right-click on the taskbar and select “Task Manager” or press `Ctrl + Shift + Esc` to open Task Manager.
2. In the Task Manager window, go to the “Performance” tab.

Using Command Prompt:
1. Open Command Prompt:
– Press `Win + X` and select “Command Prompt” or “Command Prompt (Admin)”.
2. In the Command Prompt window, type the following command and press Enter:
bash
systeminfo | find “System Boot Time”
The output will display the system boot time and the current time, allowing you to calculate the uptime.
Using PowerShell:
1. Open PowerShell:
– Press `Win + X` and select “Windows PowerShell” or “Windows PowerShell (Admin)”.
2. Type the following command and press Enter:
powershell
Get-CimInstance Win32_OperatingSystem | Select-Object LastBootUpTime

Using System Information:
