Deskscapes 2026 / on the desktop effects - system info/uptime - I have activated, and it works fine - uptime does not reset when the system is restarted - how do I reset when I power off and restart?
Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. I tested it out and on my system the Uptime reset itself when I shutdown and reboot my system. Perhaps something did not get installed properly. Please try, uninstall Deskscape 2026, reboot immediately (important), download latest version available in your account product download page: https://store.stardock.com/myaccount/products. Install it, reboot immediately again. Retest it and report back.
Thank you,

Hello - I followed the instructions as requested. I do have the latest version now - (yes, I did uninstall and rebooted) - I turned on (hard boot) my system at 8:30 am today, yet the info on my screen says I have been on for 17 hours and 37 minutes (when I loaded the new program on my system). It is now 10:07 am - seems the calculation is a bit off, yes?
There must be something that is not clear, and your program can't figure out that the machine was turned off - just guessing.
Any other ideas?
thanks
Dennis
The uptime information comes directly from the OS itself. It is not saved information.
Are you sure your computer is not going into hibernation mode or sleep instead?
If you open taskmanager and go to the performance tab, does the up time shown on the CPU page match DeskScapes?
The numbers match - 20 plus hours up / I do not know how that could be / there was a system update and that is where this number starts / last night - there is maybe a hitch / I use the " Slide to Shut Down program "to turn off" my computer/power light goes off, and I figured I was good. I will test by using the Windows Start button and then shutting down to see if that helps. I will get back to you all with the results - thanks for helping out.

It did not make a difference - it seems that the "uptime" on my system is the time between the updated Windows files and when the next update happens. This is not an issue with this program - it is a Windows and/or Dell issue. I would not know how to confirm those situations. I will learn to just live with it.
... and another thing ... for the uptime to fully reset, you have to restart - if you shut down, it will not clear the time.
