How to Easily Benchmark Restart Time in Windows 10 & 11 With a Batch File
By Timothy Tibbetts |
Have you ever wanted a simple way to see how long your computer takes to restart? This information can help you benchmark your computer when optimizing your startup items.
While Windows 10 & 11 keeps track of your restarts in the Event Log, it's not very intuitive. You can also download benchmark apps or even use Windows Experience. Instead, we have created a batch file that makes the entire process fast and fun for any skill level. While it's not as in-depth as a benchmarking app, it does simplify the process. This script will work in Windows 11, 10, 8, and 7.

Download Benchmark Restart Time in Windows 10 & 11 from MajorGeeks, and extract 'Benchmark Reboot Time.bat.'
Video tutorial:
Close all running applications, and double-click on Benchmark Reboot Time.bat.
As is common with batch files, you might be warned that Windows protected your PC. You can unblock the file or do it one time:
Click on More info.
Click on Run anyway. If you don't see it, look for the scroll bar at the bottom and slide it to the right.
A Command Prompt window will appear after the restart showing you your restart time.
