When I logged into a user's Microsoft Windows 10 system to check on a problem, I found the system had rebooted late the night before, September 12, 2003, at a time much later than I would expect the user to be working, so I didn't think she had rebooted it. I didn't know if the reboot might be related to the problem she reported to me or could possibly just be Microsoft Windows rebooting because of an automatically installed update. From a command prompt window, you can obtain the last time the system was rebooted using the systeminfo command. To see just the last reboot time and not all of the other output it provides, you can filter the output with the find command by piping the output of the
systeminfo command to the
find command. You can check on updates that have been
installed using the
Windows Management Instrumentation Command-line (WMIC) command
wmic qfe list ("qfe" stands for "Quick Fix Engineering").
Since that command can also generate a lot of output for updates on dates
you may not be interested in, you can also filter that output
with the find command.
