Wake On Lan Issue

[ITGURU]

Hi,

I have a strange WOL issue.

 

If i use the WOL utility to shut down a computer, or shut it down by using shutdown /s from the command line the pc will shutdown and NIC still be active (flashing on both NIC and network switch). Via both of these methods I can then wake up the PC without any issue.,

 

However, if i shut down the PC using START, Shutdown, which is what would happen with daily use, the switch port goes out and the PC will NOT wake on LAN.

 

Whats the difference, and can anyone help/advise?

 

Thanks.

That would be fast start up. Try disabling it. I’ve had problems with software that’s normally install on start up and WoL.

any way I can disable through gpo maybe for all pcs? does fast start up make much difference in reality? Thanks will give that a try.

If you got SSD in your computers there’s very little difference I feel.

 

Try looking here for the gp settings.

If you disable Hibernation (CMD —> powercfg -h off) and make sure you disable deep sleep control like dell use.
