Windows 10: WOL stopped working after 24H2 update.

WOL stopped working since I installed the 24H2 windows 11 update.My MB: Asus ProArt Z690 Creator WiFi with the latest BIOS,Network adapter: onboard Marvell AQtion 10 Gbit with the latest update,OS: Windows 11 pro.I was able to remotely connect to my home desktop for the last year and a half on a daily basis without any issues. Since I installed the 24H2 update the WOL stopped working no matter the low power state the desktop is in sleep, hibernate, soft power off.The only time that the WOL works is to send the 'Magic packet' within a minute from the time the host pc enters any low power st

WOL Stopped Working

My wife has a Packard Bell TJ68 laptop previously running Windows 7. I have a NAS which normally sleeps and the laptop send WOL packets to wake up the NAS when a user logs on.

When I upgraded to Windows 10 the sending of the WOL packets no longer works. It makes no difference whether I connect up a wired connection or use the wireless. I have tried from the commandline (Wolcmd) and various utilities.

I know WOL is working because a Linux Netbook wakes the NAS successfully as does my Windows 7 desktop.

It then dawned on me that maybe the identical problem with my sons Windows 8 HP laptop, which I had put down to different hardware (and he's had to live with) is actually related to Windows 8/10 not the hardware.

I've had windows update look for drivers but the fact that wired or wireless, two machines, neither work says that it's not drivers.

If I can't find a solution I'll have to go back to Windows 7. Just to be clear this is NOT a problem using WOL to wake up the laptop, this is the laptop failing to send WOL packets after upgrading to Windows 10.

 

Laptop updated to 1809. Can't get WOL to send out...

Not sure the topic is exactly accurate. Here's the story:

• Have been successful sending WOL to 2 other PCs in the house
• Had problems with laptop and sent to HP. They upgraded it to 1809
• Now when I send WOL packets the other PCs will not wake up

Given that it was working fine on those PCs before, and the noted changes are to the PC sending the packet, I'm assuming that my sending PC needs something configured.

My searches on WOL only find stuff about setting it up on the remote PC so it will wake up.

Any suggestions about why my sending PC is not sending?

 

Windows turns off network adapter (WOL not working)

Hi,

I'm having an issue with the network adaptor on my motherboard.

As far as I can tell, I should have everything setup properly for WOL to function.

• When the machine goes into sleep mode, WOL works fine.
  
• If I turn off the PC by holding down the power off button, WOL works.
  
• If I turn off the PC by clicking shutdown, I can watch the lights on the switch port the PC is connected to, and see that the network adaptor gets turned off as the lights go out, and WOL does not work.
  
  • Once the machine is off, if I unplug the power, give it a few seconds and reconnect it, the network lights turn on again and WOL works.
    

From this I am to assume that there is a setting in windows somewhere that is causing it to turn off the network adaptor during shutdown but I don't seem to be able to find a setting like that anywhere.

Is anybody able to help with this?

Same issue faced in this thread but thread is closed without any solution provided: Redirecting

Thanks,
