Have you checked the NIC settings? There is a setting "Wake on magic packet from power off state"?
My board boots into UEFI only if WOL is working, so it is the same as you described. Does your board always boots into UEFI after power loss of the PSU or only sometimes? In my case it is often but not always.
Thats the correct option. Make sure that you haven't enabled "deep sleep" because then WOL isn't working (at least for me)

One works with WoL, the other doesn't. The one where I can't get WoL to work also doesn't boot into UEFI from a cold boot. I've disabled Fast boot on both in Win10. They have the same revision of Intel drivers loaded (12.15.22.6). The machine where WoL doesn't work will wake up the device with a magic packet in hibernate mode, just not from a cold boot. |
