I recently looked at my task manager and saw that my CPU uptime is showing 99 days. After doing some quick research, I found that this might not be good. However, I haven't had any issues with my computer's performance. My PC has been unplugged from the power and monitor for about a month, and I usually shut it down properly using the Windows "shut down" option instead of the power button. Can someone explain why this is happening and how I can resolve it?

It sounds like you might have the 'fast startup' feature enabled. When this is active, shutting down your PC can act like it's hibernating instead. If you want to fully reset the uptime, try doing a full reboot instead, or you can turn off fast startup in your power settings.
99 days might sound alarming, but if you're not experiencing performance issues, it's not the end of the world. Just make sure Windows updates are running properly because typically, those should prompt you to reboot at least once in a while. If they haven't, check to ensure you're on the latest version!
Yeah, fast startup can definitely cause that. When it's enabled, shutting down your PC doesn't really turn it off—it just puts it in a hibernated state. So, doing a full restart or disabling that option will reset your uptime.
