Windows 10: Does Wake on LAN (WOL) signal reset the sleep timer in Windows 10?

I have a Windows 10 machine acting as a file server that is set to sleep after three hours. If I send a Wake on Lan (WOL) signal after two hours and fifty-five minutes, will that reset the sleep time, or will the machine still shut down in five more minutes?

Wake on Lan (WOL) does not work when the lid is closed

I met problem when configuring wake on lan. After enabling wake on lan in BIOS and in network adapter settings, I was able to wake my computer from sleep. But the problem is my laptop won't wake up when the lid is closed. That is to say:

1. When I manually sleep my computer via "Start -> Power -> Sleep" button (thus the lid is not closed), I can successfully wake my computer on lan.
2. When I closed the lid to let computer go to sleep, I can't wake up the computer.
3. When I sleep the computer as in 1 and then close the lid, I still cannot wake my computer.

I have tried several method, including disabling the quickstart, disabling hybrid sleep, turning off Link State Power Management, disable power saving policy in adapter settings and etc.... But they all make no effect.

The Windows version is Windows 10 1809

The Network Adapter is made by Realtek

Thanks in advance!

WoL not working in Windows 10

Hi, everyone, I got a problem about WoL in Windows 10.

In Windows 7, I can simply set-up WoL and wake-up my PC from my phone.

But, when I REINSTALL my system from Windows 7 to Windows 10,

the WoL seems does NOT working when wake-up from my phone.

I tried UPDATE my NIC driver to newest from Realtek website, its nothing happen.

tried turn OFF fast-startup even DISABLED hibernate by powercfg /h off, still nothing happen.

But, I can wake-up my PC when in SLEEP or HIBERNATE status.

I found LAN light-on when PC is in sleep or hibernate or Windows 7 power-off status.

LAN light-off in Windows 10 power-off status whatever fast-startup is turned on or off.

Even I used network cable tester to test my PC LAN port,

but result shows LAN 2, 6, 7 and 8 line is light-on.

whatever SLEEP HIBERNATE or POWEROFF, the result is the same.

My NIC is : Realtek RTL8139/810x Fast Ethernet Adapter

Is there any way to solve the problem?

Thanks.
