Uptime

Uptime is a lightweight and theme-adaptive Windows utility that displays your system's exact running uptime directly in the system tray.

Features

System Tray Display: Displays live system uptime in days, hours, and minutes via tray tooltip.
Restart Warning Badge: Overlays a Fluent-style yellow warning badge when system uptime crosses a configured threshold (7, 14, 30 days or custom).
Fast Startup Awareness: Detects Windows Fast Startup and informs users why shutting down doesn't reset uptime.
Direct Computer Restart: 1-click "Restart Computer..." context menu option with safety confirmation prompt.
Windows Event Log Monitoring: Writes Event Log Warning (Event ID 1001, Source Uptime) when threshold is reached for SIEM & RMM monitoring.
RMM Command-Line Status Query: Executing Uptime.exe /status returns JSON machine status to stdout for automated IT audit scripts.
Explorer Restart Recovery: Automatically re-registers tray icon if Windows Explorer restarts.
Group Policy & Enterprise Ready: Full support for ADMX templates, Group Policy GPO, silent CLI installations, and IT management tools (Intune, SCCM, PDQ Deploy, GPO).
