What Does "Windows Uptime" Mean?

Windows uptime is the total time your computer has been running since it was last restarted or powered on. It reflects how long your system has stayed active without interruption. Whether you're a system administrator tracking server reliability or a curious user wondering how long your PC has been on, uptime is a helpful indicator of system stability and performance.

Why Use a Tool Like Uptime?

While Windows includes a basic uptime readout buried in Task Manager or the command line, Uptime v2.00 makes it visible, stylish, and customizable:

Live display on your desktop in a small, borderless window.
Always On Top mode keeps uptime visible during work or monitoring.
Minimize to tray for a clean workspace with quick access.
Custom fonts and colors to match your setup or preferences.
Flashing display mode to grab attention or use as a visual alert.
Remember position on screen between sessions.
Choose your display format - long ("4 months, 2 weeks...") or short (hh:mm:ss).
Toggle seconds on or off, so it updates live every second if desired.

Make It Yours

Customize the Uptime display to match your desktop or preferences:

Set background and font color for maximum visibility or minimal distraction.
Choose your font and size for clarity.
Enable flashing - have the uptime alternate between colors every X seconds to get your attention.

No Install. No Fuss.

Just download and run. Uptime stores your preferences locally in a simple .ini file--no registry entries, no installation process, and no Internet connection required.
