Identify triggers for unwanted WoL activity
Identify triggers for unwanted WoL activity
You need to enable remote access while allowing the PC to power down when idle. The issue seems to be preventing sleep functionality, even after manual attempts. USB connections don’t seem to resolve the problem either. System Power Reports didn’t help much. I checked diagnostics and process controls, but none fixed it. System Sleep Diagnostics showed some processes trying to override power settings. RuntimeBroker, Chrome, Spotify, Svchost, MoUsoCoreWorker didn’t work. You might want to look for tools that list which programs support WoL or consider alternatives like WinSleep. Your approach could be off, or you may need a different solution.
Confirming the behavior: when the LAN cable is disconnected, it remains inactive. You could check for incoming data packets with WireShark using another device.
Sure, I can help with that. If you need guidance on inspecting magic packets using Wireshark, let me know and I’ll find a suitable tutorial for you.

After some challenging Python socket coding and a frustrating experience where many others had already solved my issue, I discovered this tool that can detect magic packets. https://www.depicus.com/wake-on-lan/wake-on-lan-monitor
Thanks for the suggestion about using dark mode. For the WoL monitor, you're likely trying to connect it to a different PC via network. Make sure you've set the correct UDP port and that the network settings allow communication between devices. If it still doesn't work, double-check the configuration files or contact support.
