Hi,
I have a problem using Wake-On-Lan (WOL) when Windows 10 has "Fast Start-Up" enabled.
Specs of system:
Operating System: Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
CPU: Intel Core i5
RAM: 8.00GB DDR3
Motherboard: ASUS H97M-PLUS
SSD: INTEL SSDSC2CW180A
This is an office PC which needs to WOL for its nightly remote backup and I would really like it to "fast start-up".
I have the most up to date Intel LAN Driver V12.13.17.4
With "fast start-up" off WOL works perfectly. With "fast start-up" on WOL refuses to work.
I have triedthe following:
- "Fast Start-Up" ON/OFF
- "Resting condition" Shutdown/Hibernate/Sleep
- "Hybrid Sleep" Visible/Not Visible
- RG_SZ "WakeOnFastStartup" 0/1
These are my results:
| Fast Start-Up | Resting Condition | Hybrid Sleep | WakeOnFastStartup | WOL |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| OFF | Sleep | Not visible | 0 | YES |
| OFF | Hibernate | Not visible | 0 | YES |
| OFF | Shutdown | Not visible | 0 | YES |
| ON | Sleep | Not visible | 0 | YES |
| ON | Hibernate | Not visible | 0 | YES |
| ON | Shutdown | Not visible | 0 | NO |
| ON | Shutdown | Visible | 0 | NO |
| ON | Shutdown | Visible | 1 | NO |
As you can see there is a not very useful corner-case, where the default position for Windows 10 Professional (Fast Start-Up = ON, Resting Condition = Shutdown, Hybrid Sleep = Not visible and WakeOnFastStartup = 0) does not response to a WOL magic packet.
I would be grateful for some help with this issue.
Many thanks,
