Setting up a Win 10 PC for shares, videos, which will be used lightly. I would like to have it sleep, and not have to do a separate operation to wake it with a magic packet before accessing.

Is this possible?

Any suggestions appreciated.

If you go into your Network connections > NIC > Properties > Power Management > Check "Allow this device to wake up computer", don't check the "Only allow magic packet..."
