Hi ANKITH BR,

Now I understand what you need. Probably your NUC is located in place difficult to access. You can do this quite easy.

1. Enter bios by pressing F2 during boot process.
2. In Advanced > Power on the R.H panel After Power Failure set to Power On.
3. Press F10 confirmed by "Y" to exit to Windows.

Now your NUC will switch ON after reconnecting power to the POwer Adapter.

Hi Leon

Thanks a lot,

Its working .

I have one more question can we do the same thing using regedit (registry keys in Windows operating systems) instead of going to bios,

If so please let me know.

Once again thank you Leon.

Best regards

Hi ANKITH BR

You should be aware, that while you disconnect the power adaptor, your computer is shutting down and the Windows also. Not like in normal shut down (from Windows or by pressing Power Button), Windows is not shut down gracefully. This may cause you problems. Once the computer is shut down and Windows is not running, you can not use Windows future (i.e. registry settings), to power ON again, while power returns. The Windows is not loaded into memory and is not running while the power is disconnected.

Could be you may use Sleep State instead of Power OFF. You can put computer into sleep state and wake it again from your keyboard or network.

Dear Leon,

Maybe you could help me too!

I've recently updated the BIOS of my NUC10i7FNB to 050 version and now it does not shut off when I push On/Off button, so that I have to unplug the unit in order to shut it off. What should I do.
