Windows 10: WOL

Can wake on LAN works when the windows 10 desktop is on recovery mode?

:)

 

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?

 

Enable Wireless WOL

Hi,

For us to narrow down the issue with your Wireless WOL, we would like to know the following:

• Are you logged in to your laptop as an Administrator?
• Which Windows version are you using?
• Were you able to find a Wake-on-LAN option on your BIOS settings?

We look forward to your response.

 

Windows10 build 1709 WOL now fails

I truly appreciate your effort to try and help on this. However, it's a bit like taking a sledgehammer to crack a nut. WOL is such a simple piece of software I find it difficult to think that a downgrade of the whole O/S could be effective. In any
case, what you're suggesting amounts to hours of frustrating work and, frankly, just to get WOL working simply isn't worth it.

Thanks again for taking an interest but I'll just have to live without WOL for now.
