Is there is a way to get the start time of a windows service by code in C#? Is there is a way to get the number of re-starts of the windows service in last 72 hours?

This for the first question.
As for the second question, I think you would need to look at the Windows events to find how many time it started, unless you can change the code to log it somewhere.

That link gets you the start time of a particular process, not necessarily the OS. The "System Idle" and "System" processes have no start time that I can see in _Process Explorer_. The oldest process with a start time is "csrss.exe". Also be aware that with PCs that go into standby/hibernate if you get the original boot time it does not follow that the PC has been up for the whole time since then. – Morbo Aug 01 '11 at 19:30

For some reason the word "the" in the title had me convinced the question was about the OS boot. Sorry for the confusion. – Morbo Aug 02 '11 at 00:12

You can try to capture it from the Event Log. As far as I know when a service starts it hooks an entry to the event log.
