Restart Time

How to See What Your Windows Restart Time is​


   Information
This will show you how to see how long in seconds it takes your Windows 7, Windows 8, or Windows 10 PC to restart back to the desktop.

You can also view the startup logs in Event Viewer (C:\Windows\system32\eventvwr.msc) under Applications and Services Logs, Microsoft, Windows, Diagnostics-Performance, and Operational. The logs will be in the middle to show you what ran at startup, how long it took, and more.
   Note
Credit completely belongs to sidney1st for writing this VBS script.
   Tip
For fun, post your restart time at this link.





Here's How:1. Click on the download button below to download the Restart-Time.bat or Restart-Time.vbs file, and save it to your desktop.
Restart-Time.bat

Download



OR

Restart-Time.vbs

Download



2. Right click on the downloaded Restart-Time.bat or Restart-Time.vbs file, click on Properties, click on the General tab, click on the Unblock button to unblock the Restart-Time.vbs file. (see screenshots below)

NOTE: If you do not have a Unblock button, then it is already unblocked. Continue to step 3.Unblock.jpg
Protect1.jpg Protect2.jpg

3. Run the Restart-Time.bat or Restart-Time.vbs file.

4. Click on OK to restart the computer. (see screenshot below)
WARNING: Close and save all windows first. This will immediately restart your computer.

5. When the computer finishes restarting, you will see your Windows restart time. Click on OK when done. (see screenshot below)

6. You can now delete the downloaded Restart-Time.bat or Restart-Time.vbs file if you like, or save it somewhere to use again later.


That's it,
Shawn

Seeker,

I have not heard anything back yet, but if you make sure you have nothing running when you restart the computer each time, then the shutdown time only adds a few seconds to the total restart time to make it pretty accurate for the boot time.

Hello RbHurd, and welcome to Seven Forums.

Please fill in your system specs to help us determine what may be the issue.
  • Do you have a laptop or Desktop?
  • Do you have your motherboard chipset drivers installed?
  • Was anything else running?
The script only triggers the same restart used in the Start Menu. If you click on Restart (in arrow menu) in the Start Menu, do you still have this same shut down problem?

Haha... MadTown, I think you're a bit early for April Fool's day there. :p

I only just found this now, but my Win7 PC is at home and I'm at work, I'll have to try this tonight and see what happens. I estimate about a 60 second turn around time? We'll see... :D

Edit: Actually, I'll post my results over here, looks like this thread is just for the restart tool...
