Wake on Lan not working when shutdown in Windows 10

[WillAwesomeGeek]

I have enabled all the things necessary for WOL which works fine for sleep or hibernate. When I shutdown my computer in Windows via Start > Power > Shutdown the computer will not work with WOL, however if I shutdown using the physical power button on the front of my tower (Not holding down, just normal quick press) it will work with WOL. I have disabled fast boot, power saving etc and setting in BIOS. This is using a network PCIE card.

Thanks for any help possible.

PC Specs:
Asus M5A99FX PRO R2.0
Network Card: TP-LINK TG-3468
OS: Windows 10 Pro

Another option would be shutdown -s in command prompt.

Just tried that and it also won't wake on lan.

Try Shutdown /s /hybrid

Didn't work which makes sense as WOL cant work from fast startup. :/

Check if ethernet led is on when you shutdown the PC.

If it is not then -

1. Update network adapter driver

2. Right Click This PC > Manage > Device Manager >Network Adapters > Double Clicked on motherboard network adapter > Advanced tab > Enable "Shutdown Wake ON LAN"

Check if ethernet led is on when you shutdown the PC.

Hopefully, it will be turned on now and you will be good to go.

a lot of people have been moving to smart outlets.
you turn on power up when power is restored in mobo (must be available)
use your pc, power it down and then turn off the outlet.
