W10 1909 with WOL issue :\

I have a laptop, Fujitsu Lifebook A544, with W10 1909 (I did a fresh
install few weeks ago!), bios is updated with last release but when I
enable on the o.s. magic packets, wol, etc. the shutdown is like a reboot!

I did a shutdown, the laptop's power goes off and after three seconds it
goes up!

I tried also to update nic (Realtek PCIe GbE Family Controller) drivers
from Realtek official site but it happens the same issue!

Now also if I disabled magic packets and power up management from magic
packets, the laptop's power goes off and after few seconds goes up!

I enabled WOL on another old machine with Debian Buster and it works well!!!

Unbelievable... :\

powercfg -lastwake

powercfg -devicequery wake_armed

powercfg -waketimers

Notice how in the ghacks example, the RealTek in Device Manager
shows custom options

Wake on Magic Packet
Wake on pattern match

If a Microsoft generic driver is used, then the Microsoft list
of features there, is a particular NDIS list. NDIS comes in
numbered versions such as NDIS5 or NDIS6. The number of features
increases from version to version. But features like Wake,
sometimes the hardware does not adhere exactly to an NDIS
standard.

The hardware "works better" with the proprietary driver,
as generally, the items listed are the "real items" and
not just a list of generic items thrown in.

To get the genuine RealTek driver, go to the computer
manufacturer website and check there for it.

RealTek used to be good about providing drivers, and
they used to be readily available from the main
RealTek site. But that may have changed, in which
case try your computer manufacturer.

Once the RealTek driver is installed, go back to Device Manager
(available in right-click of Start orb), and in Device
Manager, inspect the Wake options.

Sometimes, there is a "Wake on Carrier" option, and
that option pretty well wakes up the computer as soon
as it goes to sleep. Selecting another option if that
happens, should stop it, as would entirely disabling
the device as a wake source.

Powercfg has a pretty powerful set of options, and
can provide lots of breadcrumbs when you have problems.
It represents a real improvement, unlike other parts
of the OS...
