There may be times when you leave your computer or laptop at home and go some where and you doubt that some one have used your computer or it may be situation where in you stay in a hostel and chances are more that your friends may have used your computer.
Whatever may be the reason, you want to know when was your PC last time turned on . There are different ways to find it out. Every time you log into your computer windows logs an event in event log and the other way to get the same result is using command system information.
Event Log 6005 :
The Event ID for which event log started working is 6005. So quickly access your Windows Event log from run box by typing “eventvwr.msc”
Follow the navigation to Event Viewer Local >Windows Logs > System and search for an event with ID 6005, It will give you the time and date details when the event log was last started and it is almost equal to the system start time differing an amount of booting time.
You can see that Event Log Started at 06:10:56 but before that there are some other events which were logged at 06:10:45 seconds, So in this way you can find the system start time using event log.
Command Line Way :
You can find the same information from the command line using a simple command “systeminfo“, It will give you many details like when was your system installed and when was your last booted etc.
To find out the time when was your last started then just type the following command in run box.
cmd /k systeminfo | find /i “boot time”
It will give you the details of the last boot time
