With the advancement of technology, it is now possible to achieve remote power-on and automatic shutdown of computers, Remote power-on allows you to remotely start your computer when you leave home or the office, putting it in a ready state for remote access and control. To achieve this, you need to set the home computer to power on automatically in Bios and have a remote control power strip.

By connecting your home computer to the remote control power strip and using the corresponding remote control software or application, you can remotely manage the power status, enabling remote computer power-on and automatic shutdown. You need to do the following two things:

1. Hardware requirements: a smart socket that can be powered on remotely.

2. Enter the BIOS interface and set the computer to start automatically after powering on, and then the remote startup function can be accomplished.

Restart your computer: BIOS settings control most basic functions of the system, so you must restart your computer and enter BIOS settings before Windows loads.

Enter the BIOS of the motherboard: Once the computer is turned on, repeatedly tap the "Del", "F2", "F10" or "F12" buttons to enter the BIOS of the motherboard.

Note: There are many motherboard manufacturers in the market, if the above keys are invalid, you can consult the relevant motherboard manufacturers.

Turn on the power-on function: Enter the Power Management Setup, find the AC Recovery option, and change the value to On.

Note: This option can also be called AC Power Recovery, After Power Loss, AC BACK, or Restore AC Power Loss, etc.

Take the Lenovo motherboard as an example: Enter Power --> After Power Loss and set the value to Power On.

Take the Dell motherboard as an example: Enter Power Management Setup --> AC Recovery and set the value to On.

Take the ASUS motherboard as an example: Enter Advanced --> APM Configuration --> Restore AC Power Loss and set the value to Power On.

After completing the above setup and preparation, you can conveniently control and manage the power status of remote computers, facilitating remote sessions. This is a convenient and practical solution for both home users and businesses, making remote operations and management more flexible and efficient.
