How to replicate the system boot time command Topic is solved

[AHKStudent]

Is there a way to replicate the results of this:

C:\windows\system32>systeminfo | find "System Boot Time"
System Boot Time: 8/18/2020, 6:39:24 AM

I looked at the built in variable list but didnt find anything.

I don't really understand what you mean?
But you can do something like this.

Code: Select all

DetectHiddenWindows, On
F2::
{
ClipSave := ClipboardAll
Run, cmd.exe,,hide,myCMD
WinWait, ahk_pid %myCMD%
ControlSend,, systeminfo | find "System Boot Time" | clip {enter}
sleep 1000
MsgBox %clipboard%
Clipboard := ClipSave
}
return

You can use A_TickCount, which is the number of milliseconds that have elapsed since the system was started, and the current time to calculate the system start time.

In addition to what boiler said, since it might not be obvious, you can use EnvAdd with a negative value to subtract time from the current date, and FormatTime to convert it to a more readable form.

Another way to get System Boot Time... PowerShell wrapped in AHK:

Code: Select all

psScript =
(
    (gcim Win32_OperatingSystem).LastBootUpTime | Clip
)

RunWait PowerShell.exe -Command %psScript%,, hide
MsgBox, %Clipboard%

Or System Uptime:

Code: Select all

psScript =
(
    (get-date) - (gcim Win32_OperatingSystem).LastBootUpTime | Clip
)

RunWait PowerShell.exe -Command %psScript%,, hide
MsgBox, %Clipboard%

Hope this helps...
