Hi @OKLLL 

I am not aware of a BIOS setting to enable auto power on when the PC is connected to AC power.

Hi @OKLLL 

Maybe I am misunderstanding what you want to do.

I don't know. I never had a need to use this function. Maybe this setting exists.

PCs have a Wake on Lan feature. 

I have never seen an auto power on setting which turns on the PC and loads the operating system as soon as you connect the PC to an outlet.

The MB is in a constant lower power state when the PC is connected to AC power. This is why you must disconnect the PC from the outlet when you work with the MB or change components connected to the MB.

How would you safely shut down the operating system if the MB is in a constant higher power state?

Regards.
