There appears to be a difference in the outcome though. I was using Wake on LAN to start computers in the morning under Windows 10. With Windows 11 it stopped working. It *still* works if you shut down via the start menu or welcome screen. It doesn’t work if you shutdown via stop-computer or shutdown /s.
Did you report this issue via the Windows Feedback app? If you do, share a link to your feedback post, so that we upvote it, and help bring it to Microsoft’s attention.
I was not aware of the CTRL ALT DELETE method. I had been using the power button. On my Predator helios 300 laptop you have to hold down the power button for 4 sec and then you get the prompt window. No “forceful shutdown” with this machine. Thank you for all this great information.
