[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1199807, member: 141969"] If you are using Windows 10, what you are observing may be the result of "Fast Start". If "Fast Start" is enabled (and it is enabled by default), when you select "Shutdown" on the power menu, the system actually hibernates. When hibernating, a tiny part of the system remains powered up, in particular the ethernet socket. So you can wake the system by sending a magic packet to the ethernet socket, but you cannot wake the system by moving the mouse or pressing keys on the keyboard. If you disable "Fast Start", "Shutdown" on the power menu really does power down the system. If you also enable hibernation, there will be a separate "Hibernate" selection on the power menu. Note: the setting for "Fast Start" is [b]extremely well hidden[/b] in Windows 10, and in the end I had to goggle in order to find the instructions describing where to find it. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
