LogMeIn (LMI) apparently currently does not support wake on LAN (WoL) functionality for any computer which uses "Modern Standby". Here's a link to Microsoft's website for some background info. A...
Can I ask if there is an update about adding this support for modern standby?
We are making the bigger push I mentioned last time to replace our workstations which cannot support Windows 11 (in preparation for Windows 10 EOS). So we have an increasing percentage of new computers for which wake on LAN through LMI doesn't work because of modern standby.

Hi etb
I checked with the team, and unfortunately, I don't have a timeline, I've let them know your interest. We will update this thread when we learn more, but please feel free to follow up here anytime. Thanks.
Thanks, KateG.
I ended up getting budget at the end of 2024 to buy new computers for those which won't support Windows 11. So as soon as I finish getting those deployed, it will be about 60% of our computers that can no longer use WoL. It will be 100% after not too long.
What actually prompted me to think of this again today is that there might be a remotely similar thing with macOS as well. I noticed in logs of a new M4 Mac Mini (macOS Sequoia) that there are a decent number of 10050 and 10053 errors when the Mac is not in use. I'm guessing that that might be Mac "Power Nap" (if they still call it that), which seems similar to Modern Standby for Windows. The Mac still does seem to respond to WoL, so I don't think that this really affects the Mac users. But the Central servers will see a lot of connections and disconnections as the Mac periodically shifts between the low power states.
I'm not sure if the "voting" system is new, or if I just missed it before. But could we add 2 votes for the previous posters in this thread who had commented ( 2ARM5 and Verricom )? And if we have to choose between Windows and Mac, I definitely choose Windows :-)
