Some people find that they need to disable Fast Startup from this page, though it worked fine for me. Some computers may only support Wake-on-LAN from sleep, while others may allow you to wake up from a powered off state, so you may need to tweak settings in your BIOS or in Windows' Control Panel under Hardware and Sound > Power Options > System Settings. Next, click the Power Management tab in that same window and check two boxes: Allow This Device to Wake the Computer, and Only Allow a Magic Packet to Wake the Computer. (This option wasn't available on all of my test machines, but Wake-on-LAN still worked on each of them, so don't worry if you don't see it.) In the Advanced tab, scroll down to Wake On Magic Packet and ensure it is enabled using the drop-down box on the right. Right-click on your Ethernet adapter-mine is called 'Intel(R) l211 Gigabit Network Connection'-and select Properties. Once rebooted into Windows, click the Start menu and search for 'Device Manager.' Launch the Device Manager, find the Network Adapters section, and expand it to reveal your network interfaces. Best Hosted Endpoint Protection and Security Software.
