In Windows Server 2016 standard edition
I am running the developed program (C ++).
I'm using GetTickCount every 30 seconds to get the TickCount value.
① 30 seconds after receiving "2684348122" ms
I got "0" ms when using GetTickCount
Why is this?
Originally, it counts up to 49.7 days, and it is a recognition that you can return that value.
② Continuing from ① above, but when I did GetTickCount again
"30000" ms → 30 seconds later, I got the perfect value for "60000" ms.
Normally, I think it is normal to get a value such as "Example: 30102" ms.
Why are you returning the right value?

I can't show you the source code
It is possible to show the log.
Is there any problem with the log? -

GetTickcountpart which produces the log is required. Also please show the log if possible. -

2021-08-20T12:47:09.017+00:00 It has occurred only once.
There are only 30 days worth of logs.
As far as I checked all the logs for 30 days, it occurred only once. -

2021-08-20T12:55:57.873+00:00 Maybe check the system logs using Event View; see if it was something special during that period: suspension, hibernation, updates, system issues, etc.

2021-08-20T13:09:04.447+00:00 I checked the OS event log (App, System).
There were no logs of pauses, hibernations, updates, or system issues.The Microsoft Account Sign-in Assistant service has transitioned to a stopped state in the System log.
※Event ID:7036
The WMI Performance Adapter service has transitioned to a stopped state in the System log.
※Event ID:7036But I don't think this log has any effect on OS operation.

2021-08-23T05:56:55.667+00:00 I don't think this is
GetTickcountproblem.GetTickcounthas nothing to do with3000but3000is the logging interval. -

Yes. As you said, the program tries to get the TickCount value with GetTickCount every 30 seconds.
I think the value returned by GetTickCount is 30000ms.
I think that the program did not calculate 30000ms, but GetTickCount returned the TickCount value at 30000ms. -

2021-08-24T02:32:49.063+00:00 It seems that you don't have the source code.. Try monitoring the log to find the regulation.

After that, I got Tick Count

2021-08-24T07:43:55.217+00:00 Did you also consider using GetTickCount64 instead of GetTickCount? You must adjust your variables and logging functions.
The problem with GetTickCount seems difficult to reproduce because you must wait 50 days without restarting the system. And, in your tests, it did not always happen. To check your programs, you can try the “Application Verifier” tool (https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/f5bbb778-6f0d-4d76-9d41-c56f00d7f8ee), which simulates the wraps. (Also make sure that the observed behaviour was not caused by a tool like Application Verifier, started by someone).

The value by GetTickCount is acquired periodically when processing inside the program.

2021-08-25T05:04:44.53+00:00 This time the value of GetTickCount was 2684348122.
When I request the next GetTickCount,Returne Value is 0. -

GetTickcounthas problem. Please provide more information.
