How do I measure execution time of a command on the Windows command line?

Question

Is there a built-in way to measure execution time of a command on the Windows command line?

Answer 1

Alternatively, Windows PowerShell has a built in command that is similar to Bash's "time" command. It is called "Measure-Command." You'll have to ensure that PowerShell is installed on the machine that runs it.

Example Input:

Measure-Command {echo hi}

Example Output:

Days              : 0
Hours             : 0
Minutes           : 0
Seconds           : 0
Milliseconds      : 0
Ticks             : 1318
TotalDays         : 1.52546296296296E-09
TotalHours        : 3.66111111111111E-08
TotalMinutes      : 2.19666666666667E-06
TotalSeconds      : 0.0001318
TotalMilliseconds : 0.1318
