Thank you for joining HP Forums.}
I'll be glad to help you 🙂
As I understand the HP Pavilion x360 Convertible BIOS does not include Wake on Lan,
Don't worry as I have steps to resolve your concern (BIOS advanced options are locked/encrypted by HP to avoid users making unnecessary changes as HP Computers are tested to its optimal performance before it's sold)
That said, there is a registry key edit that should do the trick:
To enable the Wake On LAN (WOL) function after upgrading to Windows 10 or installing the Windows 10 update, perform the following the steps:
Step 1: Verify the computer has the latest BIOS version installed. Refer to the following link to locate, download and install the appropriate BIOS update for your computer:
HP Customer Support - Software and Driver Downloads
Step 2: Disable Hybrid Shutdown mode:
-
Open Control Panel and select Hardware and Sound.
-
Select Power Options.
-
Click Require a password on wakeup.
-
Confirm the option of Turn on fast startup is unchecked.
-
Save changes.
Step 3: Enable Wake On LAN (WOL) settingfor LAN driver:
-
Open Device Manager.
-
Select Network adapters.
-
Locate the LAN device and click on it.
-
Select the Advanced tab.
