Windows 10 Somehow has 49 Days Uptime

[lawro2001]

Hello, i have a Dell laptop with windows 10 on it and somehow it has 49 days uptime on it. I turn it off everyday and i don't understand how this happened because the fans and hard drive stop. I have made sure that the option "choose what the power button does" is set to shut down. Does anybody have a clue how this happened because i have no idea how that's possible.

If you ask me your power plan is changing depending on whether you're plugged in or not and with it does the power button action. IMO your computer is sleeping when you think its actually off. 

 

Or not

I think uptime is only counted from full reboot.

The shut down option in Windows 10 will sign out the user (although it does save their open apps, which is a new feature), but OS goes into hibernation rather than full shutdown, since there's no noticeable difference anyways and it's faster.

so i rebooted the computer and this time it took a lot longer to boot and the time is reset so i guess it does go into hibernation then.

You need to disable fast startup if you want a proper shutdown.
