Then you look at the uptime. 247 days. No longer have you been elevated. Now you're the vilest of vile. You're the user that lies. You just say what you think we want to hear, don't you? Well, now you're getting put on hold. For as long as your uptime was.

We have a running leader board for uptime. Servers don't count. That said, I've seen some people who think they actually are turning it off but the machine just enters sleep mode. I only trust

shutdown /r /t 0

add a /f for good measure

Wouldn't shutdown /p be faster?

Yup this is exactly what I was going to post. Was in the industry for 10 years and call me pessimistic but the second they told me they'd already rebooted I'd check uptime.

Except when they're not lying but windows by default has 'fast-startup' enabled, so every time they shutdown the uptime never resets.
