Description

Link goes down on the Intel® Ethernet Adapter as soon as the Windows® 10 system went to shutdown mode. The LED (Light-Emitting Diode) lights on the adapter are not lit. 

Resolution

Wake-on-LAN from S5 (powered down) state requires additional configuration, and the network adapter needs to have an updated Intel driver to make it functional. Review the complete list of Intel® Ethernet Adapters that have full support in Windows® 10.

Follow the steps below to set up your system:

  1. Disable all the power save options under the Power Management tab of the network adapter properties in Device Manager:
    • Respond to NS requests without waking system
    • Energy Efficient Ethernet
    • Reduce link speed during standby

    Enable Wake on LAN settings:
    • Wake on Magic Packet
    • Wake on Pattern Match
    • Wake on Magic Packet from power off state
    • Wake on Link Settings
  2. Disable Hiberboot feature. Edit the Windows Registry. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Power. Change the REG_DWORD of HiberbootEnabled from 1 to 0.
  3. Disable fast startup feature. Go to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Power Options -> change settings that are currently unavailable -> shutdown settings -> turn on fast startup: disabled.
  4. Enable wake-on-LAN functions in the system BIOS. Contact system manufacturer for specific settings.
