Wake-on-LAN in Windows 11

[shalak]

Hello!

I have a question regarding this:

Disable network connectivity during Modern Standby to reduce battery drain. (W11 only)

Does it mean that WoL (Wake-on-LAN) will no longer work? Or is it unaffected?

Heya,

I'm not sure on that one. I believe it heavily depends on your machine, if it supports WoL from a full shutdown state (usually have to enable this in your PC BIOS/UEFI) and you intend to wake it from a full shutdown, then it should still work as Windows is not involved.

WoL from the Modern Standby state seems to be quite hit or miss if you want to wake regardless from what I can find. If you do want to test it out, you can re-enable Modern Standby networking using this registry file provided with the script.

I just tested this, doesn't affect WoL, at least on Asus ROG STRIX Z790-E.

Thank you for reporting back, glad it worked!
