About this tag
NIC power management settings control how network interface cards behave during system sleep, hibernation, or shutdown. On Windows 11, misconfigured NIC power options can cause unexpected restarts instead of a clean shutdown. Users troubleshooting restart-on-shutdown issues often disable the NIC's ability to wake the computer or allow the system to turn off the device to save power.
