    Hi

    I'm going back to Win10 as server for my media files, form an Qnap.

    I got WoL to work again, but I want this machine to sleep if there no activity on the network.
    If no one streams anything, I want it to sleep.

    Is there an way for this, I can't find anything inside win for this...

    Petter

    Tried to set up now, waiting for the test. :)

    Is there an way to make it stay in taskbar, so I can see if it is running?

    I know, but I like a simple way to see if the service is running. If it's not running the computer will just be staying on.... I mainly use it headless and it stuffed away... :)

    It is a service, service ALWAYS run on Windows, no need to keep checking.
