Wake On LAN is Not Working


I have been unable to get Wake on LAN functionality to work in Windows 10:

• I am attempting to do a Wakeup on LAN to my desktop computer which is running Windows 10 from my laptop which is also running Windows 10. The desktop computer is connected to my router through a wired Ethernet connection and the laptop is connected to the same router via a wireless connection
• I'm doing this within my Local Area Network so I'm not going through a router from the external network
• I've upgraded the driver on my network adapter to the latest version
• I've enabled all the required functionality in the BIOS to enable Wake on LAN
• I've turned on all the required settings in my network adapter to enable Wake on LAN
• I've disabled "Fast Startup" in Windows 10
• I'm using the "Wake on LAN" software application from Aquila Technology
• The software is installed on both my desktop and laptop and I've tested it with the desktop in "listening" mode and verified that the desktop receives "magic" wake-up packets when it is up-and-running
• When my desktop system is powered down and I send it a Magic Packet in exactly the same way as I did when it was powered up, nothing happens and it doesn't respond to the wake-up packet

Any suggestions of what I can do to further troubleshoot this problem?

Thanks,

Remote desktop and wake on lan. ?

Hello TC, thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Community. I am here to help and provide assistance with any questions or concerns you may have.

Yes, you can remotely access a Windows 11 Pro PC in sleep mode. Here's how to make it work:

Remote Desktop: Ensure Remote Desktop is enabled on the target PC. Follow this guide: https://pureinfotech.com/enable-remote-desktop-....

Wake-on-LAN (WoL): Configure WoL on the target PC. This involves settings in the BIOS/UEFI and your network adapter. An excellent guide can be found here: How to Enable Wake On Lan in Windows 11: Remotely Turn On PC.

Note: This is a non-Microsoft website. The page appears to be providing accurate, safe information. Watch out for ads on the site that may advertise products frequently classified as a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Products). Thoroughly research any product advertised on the site before you decide to download and install it.

The steps are pretty straightforward:

Send a WoL 'Magic Packet': Use a WoL utility on another device on your network to send a special network packet that will wake your target PC. Many free tools are available, or you can configure your router for WoL forwarding if accessing from outside your local network.

Connect with Remote Desktop: Once the target PC is awake, establish a Remote Desktop connection as you normally would.

A very useful tip from experience is to consider assigning a static IP address to your target PC for easier WoL targeting.
