- Fast Startup is a feature that can be activated or disabled from your Windows 10 settings. When enabled, you will be able to power off your device faster than usual. But, in some cases, the WOL protocol will not work when the mentioned feature is activated. Therefore, you need to disable it to fix the problem.
After making these changes, check if the Wake-on-LAN feature is working. This also helps when Wake on Magic Packet is missing.
