How to check whether the computer supports remote wake-up?


Only computers with similar options such as Remote Wake Up or Wake on LAN under the power management menu of the computer BIOS support remote booting. Without this option, remote booting is not supported. (If Remote Wake Up does not support remote boot after being turned on, please consult your computer hardware provider.)

Determine whether the host supports remote boot?

1 . Open Computer Settings and click to enter Update & Security.

2 . Click Recovery on the navigation bar, enter the Recovery page, find Advanced startup, and click Restart now.

3 . Wait for the computer to restart. After restarting, the computer will enter the following interface. Click to select Troubleshoot.

7 . Select Advanced to enter the advanced options, and click Power Management Options on the advanced selection page. As shown below.

8 . Check whether Remote Wake Up or Wake on LAN and other similar options appear on this page. If there is no such option, remote wake-up is not supported. (The picture below shows that remote wake-up is not supported)
