In windows 7 How to get the system uptime ?
How to know since how long machine is running ?
In earlier versions of windows (XP) it can be easily seen on "Local Area Connection status" by just clicking on Network icon in system tray/taskbar.
It can been seen in the task manager
Right-click on the Taskbar, and click Task Manager. You can also click CTRL+SHIFT+ESC to get to the Task Manager.
In Task Manager, select the Performance tab.
The current system uptime is shown under System.
Start task manager > performance, there is a system box that shows uptime

i have two windows servers : windows server 2003 and windows server 2008.
in windows 2008 when i start a batch script through scheduled task,
it opens a visible CMD window with my batch on it.
in windows 2003 on the other hand when i start a batch script through scheduled task,
it doesn't open a visible CMD window (interact with desktop not available?) but i can see the process of the batch running in the background.
does anyone knows how can i activate the Desktop? so i can see the CMD open
Thanks :)
so i found the solution. there were two thing i had to do:
A- check the checkbox for "Run only if logged in" in the task itself.
B- enable "Allow service to interact with desktop" on the task scheduler service.
1.)Click Start, click Control Panel, and then double-click Administrative Tools.
2.)Click Computer Management.
3.)Expand Services and Applications, and then click Services.
4.)Right-click the Task Scheduler service, and then click Properties.
5.)On the General tab, make sure that the startup type is set to automatic, and that the service status is Started. If the service is not running, click Start.
6.)On the Log On tab, make sure that the local system account is selected, and that the Allow service to interact with desktop check box has a check mark.
7.)Click OK, and then quit Computer Management.
I have a requirement of simulating Ctrl+Alt+Del in remote system.I loaded sas.dll and called sendsas function but it is not working.How to display winlogon screen on remote system.
Thanks
As discussed here, you can try using Ctrl+Alt+End instead. This will bring up the Task Manager.
If this doesn't work for what you need, you can open the on-screen keyboard in the remote desktop, and click the Ctrl+Alt+Delete keys with the mouse.
I want to use an EC2 windows instance as an development environment, and want it to shutdown automatically when there is X period of user inactivity (either no remote desktop connection or idle RD connection), so as to minimize costs. Any way to do this?
You can use task scheduler inside of the windows machine to set up a trigger that will shut down the machine when it is inactive.
open the task scheduler (assuming windows 7 or 8 just type it in to
search for it in the start/search box)
on the right actions box create a task
give it a name
Run whether user is logged on or not
Run with highest privileges (shutdown requires admin rights)
Click Triggers tab
New...
Begin the task: set to on idle
click ok
click conditions tab
Check mark start the task only if the computer is idle for (your
amount of idle time)
check restart if the idle state resumes
Click the Actions Tab
New...
program = cmd.exe
add arguments = shutdown /s /f
Should be good to go after that
I am running McAfee VirusScan Enterprise 8.7i on my Windows 7 machine.
I am writing this utility to configure McAfee. Now how do I turn off McAfee programmatically (using C++ or C#)?
The only ways I can do it right now are:
Manually opening the McAfee Virusshield icon from the system tray and then selecting Exit.
Run a command prompt under SYSTEM account (using System internals tool psexec) and then issue the command "sc stop McShield"
I guess the point of virus scanners is that they CANNOT be switched off by other software (at least not easily)
Right click on the VShield icon in the system tray and choose Manage features and the VirusScan Enterprise
Double click on Access Protection to get to the properties
Un-check the option for "Prevent McAfee services from being stopped"
You should now be able to stop the McAfee services
I have Windows 7 pro at work. My problem is I keep on forgetting to clock in/clock out (using the intranet timesheet system). Is there a way to run a script or command to automatically open the timesheet page each time I lock/unlock my station?
Yes, windows 7 task scheduler allows a dizzying array of new ways to schedule tasks:
One is on log on, and another is on event which could be a security event for locking the workstation.
Administrative Tools --> Task Scheduler
- Create Task
--> Triggers Tab
--> New Button
--> Begin Task drop down box...
etc.
You can use the trigger event "on workstation unlock"...or "on workstation lock", in Windows 10 task scheduler.
