Hi,
after I recognized that some of my scripts fail if they are at windows startup I researched for a solution. Problem could be fixed if I wait about 120 seconds after login. So how to measure this?
#include-once #include <AD.au3> #include <Date.au3> ; #FUNCTION# ==================================================================================================================== ; Name ..........: _SecondsAfterLogin ; Description ...: Returns how many seconds are gone since last login ; Syntax ........: _SecondsAfterLogin() ; Parameters ....: None ; Return values .: Success - Integer of seconds ; Failure - 0, sets @error to 1 ; Author ........: Conrad Zelck ; Modified ......: ; Remarks .......: ; Related .......: ; Link ..........: ; Example .......: Yes ; =============================================================================================================================== Func _SecondsAfterLogin() Local $sDate Local $iSec $sDate = __GetLogonTime() ; UTC If @error Then $sDate = __GetLogonTime_AD() ; local time If @error Then Return SetError(1, 0, 0) Else $sDate = __LocalTime($sDate) ; UTC to local time EndIf $iSec = __TimeDifference($sDate) Return $iSec EndFunc #region - INTERNAL_USE_ONLY Func __GetLogonTime($sUserName = @UserName, $sComputerName = @ComputerName) ; Idea by trancexx: http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/113611-if-isadmin-not-detected-as-admin/ Local $aRet = DllCall("netapi32.dll", "long", "NetUserGetInfo", "wstr", $sComputerName, "wstr", $sUserName, "dword", 11, "ptr*", 0) If @error Or $aRet[0] Then Return SetError(1, 0, 0) Local $sSeconds = DllStructGetData(DllStructCreate("ptr;ptr;ptr;ptr;dword;dword;dword;ptr;ptr;dword;dword;dword;dword;ptr;dword;ptr;dword;dword;byte;dword", $aRet[4]), 10) DllCall("netapi32.dll", "long", "NetApiBufferFree", "ptr", $aRet[4]) Local $sLastLogon = _DateAdd('s', Number($sSeconds), "1970/01/01 00:00:00") Return $sLastLogon EndFunc Func __GetLogonTime_AD() Local $iSuccess = _AD_Open() If $iSuccess = 1 Then Local $sDate = _AD_GetLastLoginDate() $sDate = __NumberDate_StringDate($sDate) _AD_Close() Return $sDate Else Return SetError(1, 0, 0) EndIf EndFunc Func __NumberDate_StringDate($sDate) Local $y, $m, $d, $h, $min, $s $y = StringMid($sDate,1, 4) $m = StringMid($sDate,5, 2) $d = StringMid($sDate,7, 2) $h = StringMid($sDate,9, 2) $min = StringMid($sDate,11, 2) $s = StringMid($sDate,13, 2) $sDate = $y & "/" & $m & "/" & $d & " " & $h & ":" & $min & ":" & $s Return $sDate EndFunc Func __LocalTime($sDate) Local $iTimeZoneOffset Local $aTimeZone = _Date_Time_GetTimeZoneInformation() If $aTimeZone[0] <> 2 Then $iTimeZoneOffset = ($aTimeZone[1]) * -1 Else $iTimeZoneOffset = ($aTimeZone[1] + $aTimeZone[7]) * -1 EndIf $iTimeZoneOffset /= 60 ; in hours Local $sHour = StringMid($sDate, 12, 2) $sHour += $iTimeZoneOffset $sDate = StringLeft($sDate, 11) & $sHour & StringRight($sDate, 6) Return $sDate EndFunc Func __TimeDifference($sDate) Local $sNow = _NowCalc() Local $sDiff = _DateDiff("s", $sDate, $sNow) Local $iDiff = Number($sDiff) Return $iDiff EndFunc #endregion - INTERNAL_USE_ONLY I had to look what kind of login it is. Some of my computers are logging in with active directory and other not.
Here is an example:
#include <SecondsAfterLogin.au3> Local $iSec = _SecondsAfterLogin() MsgBox(0, '', "Time since last login: " & _HHMMSS($iSec, "s")) Exit Func _HHMMSS($iTime, $sType = "ms") If $sType = "s" Then Local $sHHMMSS = StringFormat("%.2d:%.2d:%.2d", (Floor($iTime / 3600)), (Floor(Mod($iTime,3600) / 60)), (Mod(Mod($iTime,3600),60))) Else Local $sHHMMSS = StringFormat("%.2d:%.2d:%.2d", (Floor($iTime / 3600000)), (Floor(Mod($iTime,3600000) / 60000)), (Mod(Mod($iTime,3600000),60000) / 1000)) EndIf Return $sHHMMSS EndFunc I hope someone find it useful.
Regards, Conrad
P.S. Review is welcome.

I have a script that autostart with Windows, and sometimes some of my code is skipped. My script takes long pauses, so it's not that the script "goes too fast". This is my script for now:
TraySetIcon("C:\Portables\AutoIt\_\icon.ico") AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode", 2) Run("C:\Portables\Key Manager\keymanager.exe") WinActivate("ATNSOFT Key Manager v") WinWaitActive("ATNSOFT Key Manager v") WinMove("ATNSOFT Key Manager v", "", 650, 200, 600, 800) Sleep(500) $pos = MouseGetPos() MouseClick("left", 1220, 210, 1, 100) MouseMove($pos[0], $pos[1], 100) Run("C:\Portables\foobar2000\foobar2000.exe") $version = 298 For $i = 0 To 99 Step 1 $path = "C:\Users\spunit\AppData\Local\Discord\app-0.0." & $version + $i & "\Discord.exe" If FileExists($path) Then Run($path) ExitLoop EndIf Next Run("C:\Portables\Firefox\FirefoxPortable.exe") Sleep(10000) WinMove("- Mozilla Firefox", "", 205, 0, 1214, 1047) Sleep(100) MouseClick("left", 1300, 15, 1, 10) Sleep(100) MouseClick("left", 1130, 275, 1, 10) Sleep(100) MouseClick("left", 930, 105, 1, 10) Sleep(100) Send("#{m}") Sometimes it skips to click and move mouse right after Key Manager starts. Almost always it skips everything after the last run.
This type of script were never an issue with Windows 7... Any thoughts?

I was looking for a way to find out how long my PC had been running a few weeks ago and had trouble finding something that satisfied my needs, I found a Visual Basic Script that worked but found it too long. But searching trough AutoIt WINAPI help found that it really was as simple as the following little script.
#include <WinAPISys.au3>
#include <WinAPIMisc.au3>
Local $Uptime = _WinAPI_StrFromTimeInterval(_WinAPI_GetTickCount())
MsgBox(0, '', "PC Uptime ==> " & $UpTime)
Hope it helps...

Hey everyone,
I have written a script which I want to start together with the booting operating system (Win7x64). Like proposed by wiki-FAQ (https://www.autoitscript.com/wiki/FAQ) I tried the following:
MsgBox(0,"TellMe",RegWrite("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run", "ATOSS-FavoritenManager", "REG_SZ", @ScriptFullPath)?"SUCCESS":"Error: " & @error) It worked, just like putting a link into the windows autostart directory.
Thing is, every other program in there needs some seconds to start after booting. However, my script takes 3-5 minutes for no obvious reason, with the process visible in the task-manager. I tried a a smaller Autoit.exe script and it was way faster than mine.
My script is 1.1MB in size and needs 17.6MB of RAM when running. (maybe that's the problem?)
I set up a MsgBox at the start of my script to have something simple as first visible effect, so in my opinion it's nothing in my code causing the problem (like a loop).
My includes are:
That's quite some but I need those.
Any ideas? (Here is some code, that my script starts with. Altogether it's about 3500 lines of code.)
Thanks and have a great weekend!

*Requires Win 8 or higher, unless there is someway to import the DISM module in lower versions I am unaware of.
As my last thread of powershell efforts was aimed at AD, so this one will be aimed at the DISM module available in Win 8 and above. Lets begin:
This is the DISM image info command, via powershell, returning an array.
#RequireAdmin #include <AutoItConstants.au3> #include <Array.au3> $sImagePath = 'C:\Users\username\Desktop\WIMs_2008\install.wim' $sCommands = "powershell get-WindowsImage -ImagePath " & $sImagePath $iPID = run($sCommands, "", @SW_HIDE , $stdout_child) $sOutput = "" While 1 $sOutput &= StdoutRead($iPID) If @error Then ExitLoop EndIf WEnd $aOutput = stringsplit($sOutput , @CR , 2) For $i = ubound($aOutput) - 1 to 0 step - 1 If stringleft(stringstripws($aOutput[$i], 1) , 1) = "" Then _ArrayDelete($aOutput, $i) Next _ArrayDisplay($aOutput)
