This project is a simple Win32 console application that prints a message giving the time that the computer was last started. This application works on Windows 10.

This application relies on the system event log to obtain the data. It searches for an event form the source "eventlog" with an event ID of 6005.

I have discovered that this method does not detect when the system hibernates or is resumed. It only detects when the system is powered on or rebooted. As a result, on a laptop computer, the given start time may be much earlier than you expect if you are in the habit of allowing your laptop to hibernate rather than turning off your laptop. I consider this to be a bug. I am investigating a fix for this bug.
