Server will not wake
Verfasst: 7. Aug 2021, 19:51
Recently Lights out 2.5 stopped waking the server at the specified time. Once the server starts all client - server functions work as they should as configured. The server is a windows 10 PC with v21H1 and had been working fine. I am not sure when the issue started with respect to a Windows update but with the updates of late for Windows it is more likely than not a Windows issue. Just before the issue I updated the Realtech LAN driver and had an issue with the PC not staying asleep when I manually put it to sleep. I rolled back the driver and settings and cleared that up.
After that happened the PC would not go to sleep unless I did it manually and that is when LO would not wake the server. I checked the settings listed in the LO manual but could not resolve the issue. I then installed LO 3.5 trial and nothing changed. I checked wake timers in powercfg and LO was the only one in the list.
I did a clean boot in Windows and the PC would then sleep as configured until the next normal restart. With another clean boot I then uninstalled LO and upon normal restart sleep was back to normal. As a further test I tried to create a task in task scheduler and anything I tried would not wake the PC.
I have been looking through the Windows help forums to no avail.
I have installed LO 3.5 on a semi retired PC with the same Windows version and installed the client on the server and that functions as it should and wakes the server at the specified time.
The server is my primary PC and I use LO to wake and sleep the clients as needed for different projects via remote desktop connection.
I hope you can give me some things to look for so I can resolve this before I do a reinstall of Windows.
Thank you
