I have tried an older BIOS version I have tried different drivers, although I need to try some combos again after turning fastboot off. I also disabled hyrbid sleep in the power saving options as well but that didnt work. It would appear that disabling hibernation doesnt fully undo Fastboot as I had read.Īnyway once that was off I could then shutdown the usual way and it will WOL. I re-enabled hibernation and I was then able to access that option and removed it. I had read earlier that Fastboot was the issue but the option wasnt showing. I then found that it would wake up if I shut it down using shutdown /s /t 0 This one initially would not wake up from off or sleep and pattern match wasnt working.
The current one I am looking at is a Dell Optiplex 960 and I am using the built in Intel 82567LM-3 The network lights are blinking as they should when the machines are off. I also tried different combo's just to be sure.
Note that all of the settings were set correctly as in BIOS is set for WOL and in the driver. Some will wake from off or sleep no problem but pattern match doesnt seem to be working. The new machines from the last couple of years seem fine and will wake from off, sleep etc and also pattern match is also working well.ĭepending on the machine I am getting different issues. I have been having some trouble recently with WOL and Windows 10.
