My initial thought is "I don't believe you" if they claim to have already restarted the PC. Sometimes they Think they did but only put it to sleep or something, and sometimes they are just lying to seem less stupid.
Once I had a user swear up and down they restarted the computer 3 times, and asked if I thought they were an idiot.
I said, "No, I'm not saying you're an idiot, but your computer is saying it's boot time was 18 months ago."
I used to see a lot of people log out and back in and think that was restarting. Still wish Windows had an uptime command
I'm mad WMIC is gone. That thing was fucking useful, so of course Microsoft went out of their way to get rid of it.
Whaaaat they removed wmic?! I used the crap out of that when I did windows admin.
Yeah. It's been deprecated for a while, but I've been running into some 11 systems where it is totally gone.
Have fun remembering a whole buttload of random PowerShell cmdlets to do the same fucking thing as that one tool.
Still works on my Win11. Now you got me anxious waiting for it to die.
I don't get as mad at Microsoft as most around here, but this is some boolsheet.

Does get-ciminstance not do the trick? I know the PS wmic cmdlets are depreciated, but I doubt they'd remove it entirely given how much uses that in the background.
What?! That's going to break a shitload of my PowerShell scripts.
Does it not still show in Task Makager?
It shows there, from the CPU under Performance. I just like command line options
Good! I thought maybe the enshittification that is Windows 11 changed that.
Systeminfo | find "Boot Time"
Systeminfo|findstr Boot
Works as well, but the B in boot has to be capitalized
You can check Windows uptime in the taskmanager under the Performance tab.
Yeah, or network settings (not always accurate) or Powershell. It just would've been nice to Win+R, cmd,
uptime- way back I'd usenet stats srv(orwksta)
