    I have two GLK-UC2X computers and one of them will be placed at a location where I don't have physical access to the PC most of the times. I want to use the GLK-UC2X as a PC to remote desktop into as well and want to prepare the PC so that I can always reboot it once it becomes unresponsive or it has been accidently switched off. What would be the preferred way? I am thinking of Wake on Lan and also that the PC automatically boots when the power is switched off and on again. Does this need to be activated in the Bios and if so how? The other one I will have access to and that one can be easily activated again with the W10 Gyro I noticed which is a good solution for me.

    That's an interesting question. Win 10 Pro support remote access, and yes WOL that you mentioned is also supported.

    I connect to my GLK-UC2X by remote desktop functionality within windows 10 Pro. And yes, if you enable 'Wake on PME' in the system BIOS it is possible to wake the PC with a magic packet. You just need to get a tool to do that i.e. Nirsoft WakeMeOnLan because mstsc.exe cannot perform that action. After the wakeup I use mstsc.exe on my laptop to connect remotely. All functionality is already in Windows, safe the wake-up tool, that's the only one needed to install.
