Wake On LAN works after Linux shutdown but not Windows

My PC has dual boot Ubuntu and Windows 10, installed on separate hard drive.

Some background details: when the PC power on, it goes to the grub menu, and default on Ubuntu. Each time I want to use the Windows, I switch the grub menu (I wrote a bash script, so I usually WOL the PC, SSH in Ubuntu, and run the script and wait for windows start, then I can use windows with Remote desktop)

The problem is WOL only works if I shutdown the PC from Ubuntu. And if I shutdown PC in the Windows, the WOL can never wake up the computer. So each time I finished work with the windows, I restart and let it boot back to the default Ubuntu, then I shutdown the Ubuntu, this way, I can WOL the PC next time.

FYI, The WOL used to work with the Windows before I installed the Ubuntu. The ethernet port is Intel I-219V, on the Windows, I have disabled Hibernate, fast boot, and disabled Ethernet power saving or whatever it called.

Any help on this? What should I look at with the Windows to solve this issue? Or is it supposed to be function like this? Thank you.

It is a Windows question, here is off-topic. *used to work with the Windows before I installed the Ubuntu* is probably a perception issue and in any case unrelated to Ubuntu. As a courtesy I suggest disabling Fast Startup in Windows, a must when dual-booting, and probably how it was before some Windows feature update re-enabled it.

@ChanganAuto Fast startup/ fastboot, fast shutdown were all disabled. WOL works on the same PC with only Windows installed, before setup dual boot. I posted the same post in Windows comunity, they suggest this is off-topic there, I posted to Superusers community, they suggest this is off-topic as well. I don't know where should I post.

No, it's perfectly on-topic at Superuser.com and how could "they" suggest otherwise if you haven't even joined that community / posted any question? Also there's no Windows only stack. The point remains: This has nothing to do with Ubuntu or dual-booting. The situation you described - working before but having to shutdown from Ubuntu in order to work now -, if true, is unrelated. Find out what *changed in **Windows*** (feature updates that also tend to re-enable fast startup, by the way, or some other change, or not actually shutting Windows down properly,..)

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
