Summary

  • For those wishing to assess their productivity, Windows provides methods for tracking screen time.
  • The first option is to use the Settings application, where the battery usage section can provide a basic overview of screen on and off times over the last seven days.
  • For a direct answer to the amount of total computer usage, the Up Time field in the Task Manager can give the amount of time passed since the last restart.
  • For PowerShell users, Get-EventLog can provide a breakdown of screen time and login times down to the millisecond.
  • The SystemInfo and PowerCfg commands in Command Prompt provide additional data on system uptime and battery reports.
  • For a deeper analysis of sleep and wake up times, the Event Viewer can provide detailed information.
  • Additionally, the Performance Monitor can calculate system uptime, providing another avenue for tracking.
  • For managing screen time for family members, a Microsoft Family Safety account can be used, and third-party apps and browser extensions can provide even deeper insights.
