Instructions

Create a UDA or Field Attribute of type String to hold the date and time of the last system bootup. In the example below, I have created a UDA called BootUpTime:

Next Create a Script that triggers on startup and utilizes the System.Environment.TickCount as below:

dim mc as System.Management.ManagementClass;

mc = new System.Management.ManagementClass("Win32_OperatingSystem");

dim Env as System.Environment;
dim tc as integer;
dim t as System.TimeSpan;

tc = System.Environment.TickCount;
t = System.TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(tc);

Me.BootUpTime = System.DateTime.Now.Subtract(t);

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Upon the next bootup, the UDA you created called BootUpTime should be populated with the time of the last boot. You can check this value in Object Viewer as below:
