Windows 10: Task Manager, Net Statistics Workstation, etc all show wrong time of when system started!

Hello,


I'm running on Windows 10 Pro x64 1909 OS Build 18363.535.


When I use various methods to look at the boot time and/or up time, I'm told a date and/or up time that is clearly incorrect. I powered down my system earlier today around Noon on December 27, 2019 and just powered it on several minutes before starting this thread.

• Task Manger shows my Uptime as 6 days, 2 hours, 14 minutes, 16 seconds.
• Net Statistics shows the boot time as December 21, 2019 at 16:37:47
• Using Powershell, I get:
  • Last boot: 12/21/2019 16:37:36
  • 
    Uptime : 6 Days 2 Hours 23 Minutes
    

The actual time should be only minutes not days or even hours.

Again this was not a reboot, but from a powered down state.


Just FYI: The time of day is correct e.g. December 27, 2019 at 19:07 CST.


Anyone else seeing this issue after a power on? After a reboot? Going to try reboot next. Have a reason for this issue? Solution? etc!?


Thank you.



PowerShell:

PS C:\Users\Bertr>

PS C:\Users\Bertr> Function Get-Uptime {

>> Param [string] $ComputerName = $env:COMPUTERNAME

>> $os = Get-WmiObject win32_operatingsystem -ComputerName $ComputerName -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

>> if $os.LastBootUpTime {

>> $uptime = Get-Date - $os.ConvertToDateTime$os.LastBootUpTime

>> Write-Output "Last boot: " + $os.ConvertToDateTime$os.LastBootUpTime

>> Write-Output "Uptime : " + $uptime.Days + " Days " + $uptime.Hours + " Hours " + $uptime.Minutes + " Minutes"

>> }

>> else {

>> Write-Warning "Unable to connect to $computername"

>> }

>> }

>>

>> Get-Uptime -ComputerName localhost

Last boot: 12/21/2019 16:37:36

Uptime : 6 Days 2 Hours 23 Minutes

Windows 10 "Up Time" in Task Manager show wrong time period.

Hi,

Nice observation! I see the same problem here - Windows 10 x64 (10586.164). And it's not just Task Manager, but any WMI, WMIC or PowerShell script, Microsoft own Uptime.exe utility, or anything that uses WMI's Win32_OperatingSystem class returns the SAME
thing.

Some of the several methods I tested:

• (Get-WmiObject Win32_OperatingSystem).LastBootUpTime
• systeminfo | find /i "Boot Time"
• net statistics workstation
• wmic os get lastbootuptime
• Microsoft Uptime.exe utility
• Task manager

All of them say my system has been online/Uptime for 5 days, 13 hours, 3 minutes, xx seconds, which is no way near the actual Uptime. I surely shutdown / power off my system once daily.

 

"NET STATISTICS WORKSTATION" Command Prompt Command result reading

Hi,

Here is the situation have several Windows 10 computers on domain network that contains 3 physical servers and 4 Virtual servers on 2 hyper v hosts. I should add the domain controller or active directory is a Virtual Machine on a hyper v host. Hyper v
host 1 - AD 1 and 365 sync VM's, Hyper v 2 host - AD 2 - SQL server VM's - the AD's are replicating to each other. The new accounting SQL server is a physical server the one with data base having the issue with.

We have a issue with accounting software locking when posting to it at time or intermittently. Their support suggest it might be related to server disconnects they detect when run the "net statistics workstation" command on the computer. I have run this
command on most all the computers in the network and they all have these "server disconnects" ranging from 3 - 27.

My question is what server is the command looking at to register a disconnect the domain controller, all of them a host on the net, internet connectivity.

Or is it just anything on network if a connection that was there before and goes away that is registered as a disconnect. What constitutes a server in "server disconnects" in the NET command.

Thanks for the help.

 

Windows 10 - cannot add exec to Startup in Task Manager

I purchased a new computer with Windows 10 already installed. I am trying to add an exec to the startup list but Win10 will not accept it. The exec runs successfully on my Windows 10 machine if I start it manually.

Steps I've taken: Task Manager, Startup Tab, File>Run New Task. (browse to location, select.) It will start immediately, but does not show up on the list to autostart, nor does it start on reboot.

Any suggestions?
