Mine is one day and three hours. I usually don’t shut down my laptop; instead, I always close the lid. What’s your uptime?
Even when I shut down my laptop, it’s like this… I have to restart my laptop to remove the uptime.

It’s likely you’re running Windows with fast boot enabled.

Yes, it doesn’t really shut down, just hibernates. Can’t say it’s downtime if it never actually shut down.

In many cases, it makes it faster, and a clean boot up is preferable for many, but the benefits of fast boot are negligible at best.

Turn off fast startup.

Hold the shift key when pressing power off if you don’t want to disable fast startup.

Mine was about to reach a year but I broke my drivers and had to try restarting. I use Debian on my laptop so I don’t need to shut down or restart normally.

Mine is probably higher. I use it as a fileshare for my other devices because I don’t have the money for a NAS/Plex Server.
4 days, 1 hour, 57 minutes, 40 seconds.

I’m sure it’s crying on the inside.

Sweet summer child, you’ve seen nothing. With Windows 10/11 fast startup enabled, I’ve seen PCs with uptimes well over a year. And users who were absolutely clueless why most of their apps crash multiple times a day.

That is absurd. To be fair, my laptop is two weeks old, so it hasn’t had the opportunity to be properly deprived of rest.

It is absurd. But it’s what happens when Microsoft enables features like fast startup by default and users disable Windows Update because they think they know better, so they have no reason to ever do a proper reboot.

I would have hit 18 months if the power hadn’t gone out. It still ran flawlessly, as surprising as it may be. Just realized this is a laptop forum; it was a desktop.

That’s even more impressive!

Those things are built like rocks. I never shut mine down. It only gets rebooted when I install an update.
