I have an Aurora-R6 with BIOS v1.0.5. I see the same.
It might be because we are in UEFI-Mode (which is best) or some other reason.
1. Have you tried just doing the Windows-10 config?
2. What is your local network config like?
3. What are you trying to accomplish exactly?

I would like it to wake up.
1. Hmm. In Device Manager? You are using the on-board Killer E2400 Gigabit Ethernet "card" right?
2. So, it's a residential peer-to-peer network behind a router?
3. Yeah, I use Real-VNC to the Macs, but I use Ultra-VNC from Windows to Windows. From a batch file, I wake with MagicPacket and then start VNC.
You might also check your Sleep-State config in Aurora-R6 BIOS. IIRC, the default was set so that after it fell asleep ... clicking the mouse-button would not wake it. It was easy to fix.

RE>> Yes to both questions.
2. So, it's a residential peer-to-peer network behind a router?
RE>> Yes
3. Yeah, I use Real-VNC to the Macs, but I use Ultra-VNC from Windows to Windows. From a batch file, I wake with MagicPacket and then start VNC.
RE>> So you don't need to enable WOL in BIOS and Win10 for the setup you have? I downloaded the MagicPacket app from the Microsoft Store and will play around with it. However, I typically VNC to my Aurora R6 from my Macs.

This is my Windows batch file. If you come-up with something better (maybe not even using MagicPacket), please let me know.
