Using a Windows Media Center Remote with NUC8i7HNK

[JMand3]

Is there some setup/programming I have to do with this thing or somethin to get it to work?

I got an "Acer Remote Control KWR113201/01B w/ Windows Media Center & Keyboard"

trying to turn on the NUC

got it the remote. pulled plastic from batteries. tried it. nothing. Does it need to be programmed somehow first?

Please, double check you have these options enabled in your configuration: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000023873/mini-pcs.html Check the 3 options there and let me know the results. Amy C Intel Customer Support Technician Under Contract to Intel Corporation

i think the issue is more basic, for now.. how do i get a new remote working with it? Cuz even awake no buttons on the remote seem to do anything with the NUC

Did you check the settings mentioned in the link? These need to be enabled. Try using the remote with another computer or device to check if it could be related to the remote. Amy C Intel Customer Support Technician Under Contract to Intel Corporation

*sigh* are you a bot or something?

I checked everything.. the only thing that could b changed was fast startup within windows. I disabled it, rebooted.. still nothing. The remote wont do anything. Volume, windows button, anything

Like I keep asking. DOES IT NEED TO BE PROGRAMMED TO / PAIRED TO THE NUC TO WORK like bluetooth, etc

No, if it is enabled in the BIOS you do not need to set any other configuration. Amy C Intel Customer Support Technician Under Contract to Intel Corporation
