Gigabyte GA-AB350-Gaming 3 Wake on LAN Not Working

[WolfLeader116]

I recently purchased a Gigabyte GA-AB350-Gaming 3, and I can't seem to get Wake on LAN to work with this board. Previously, I had the same IP and of course a different MAC address in the software I'm using, but I updated the MAC address and verified that the IP (for WoL success verification) and MAC address are the same. The software does detect when the computer is running, but when it sends the WoL packet, the computer won't wake up. It's in a fully shut down state, I've disabled the Windows 10 Fast Startup in the Power Options, I've ensured that my only network drivers have been set to enable Wake on Magic Packet, they have no power management settings in Windows and in the BIOS, I have enabled Wake on LAN. I'm running the latest stable F6 BIOS.
Any ideas on what to try? Thanks!

The "Wake on LAN" (WOL) feature wakes a computer from a low-power state not fully shut down state.

WOL is supported only from sleep (S3) or hibernation (S4) states in Windows 8, 8.1 and Windows 10.

That is incorrect. WoL can wake the computer from any state as long as the computer has power. What is often an issue is Windows 8/10 fast startup. It puts the computer in some other weird hibernation state (I can't remember what) but it conflicts with WoL and you must disable it. Turns out, that the issue is that Windows had installed it's own drivers, so I had to reinstall the Gigabyte drivers. It worked perfectly after that. I am certain I installed the drivers in the past, so Windows 10 must have done it's stupid force update and gotten rid of them....
