I have written a program in c and I want to install it in my system which will calculate the duration of time that system is used. I have added the exe file in "taskscheduler" so that it is stating and creating one window when my laptop is switching on.But it is not working if I close the window.

So how can I install or how shall I create the exe file so that it will run continuously.

Create your application as a windows service and it will be running continuously.

Or you can call GetTickCount()[^]
