Tried in PS and system startup process and task StartTime is not available: Get-Process | where {$_.StartTime} | Format-Table Id, StartTime, Name with or without the StartTime filter, in a unelevated process not in a domain; an elevated process shows it for all but the System Idle Process. It is available from WMI as shown by SysInternals ProcExp64 and directly by: $ wmic process get processid, creationdate, name # rearranged with awk Proce CreationDate Name 104 20190315065342.676287-360 Registry 4 20190315065436.434418-360 System 0 20190315065436.434418-360 System 408 20190315065436.891830-360 smss.exe 560 20190315065500.672209-360 csrss.exe 660 20190315065502.159992-360 wininit.exe 780 20190315065502.406370-360 services.exe 824 20190315065502.618164-360 lsass.exe 928 20190315065504.236736-360 svchost.exe 952 20190315065504.262313-360 svchost.exe 976 20190315065504.364113-360 fontdrvhost.exe In Cygwin ps, think zero could be subbed by what goes out as /proc/stat btime.
