T-Clock's uptime format
« on: August 02, 2018, 03:36 PM »
Dear Sir,
  First I would like to thank you for keeping up this program, it's a great program and I appreciate your efforts. Second - I display it like is shown in the attachment, but for the last 3 or 4 versions the System-Uptime sometimes works crazy - I can start it up in the morning (after the computer has been off all night) and I get all sorts of values for the System-Uptime --- once I got 125 hrs. when it should have been zero --- could you tell me please how to fix this?
 Once again thank you for your work on this handy program!
Steve Bunnell

hmm... I guess it's 64bit, right?
What's the exact format string you're using?

what does your customized advanced clock format look like?

It's quite possible that Windows 10's fast-boot messes things up a bit.. so if you open an cmd.exe window and run ' systeminfo ' it might show a different "System Boot Time" than expected.

Yes - You are right, I restarted my computer as soon as I read your response and then ran systeminfo and it shows start time as 10:49 PM on 8/14/2018 - should be 2:20 PM 8/15/2018. Is there anything I can do for this?

Well, I don't think there's anything you could do right now, other than disabling fast-boot if you want Windows to always do a full boot without caching.

I'll have to figure out some other way to calculate the uptime, I guess Task Manager is able to do it. Though it might use an undocumented Windows API like NtQuerySystemInformation()
