[NUC] Remote Control or USB Device Doesn't Wake Up the NUC

What are you seeing?

You can't wake your NUC with a remote control or USB device.

Why are you seeing it?

There are several reasons the NUC might not wake as expected.

BIOS settings Wake on USB/Wake via CIR (remote) are not enabled
Deep S4/S5 is enabled in BIOS - it disables infrared and USB so that a remote control or USB device can't wake your NUC.
Windows* Fast Startup is enabled. When you shut down your computer with Fast Startup enabled, it appears as though a full shutdown to the OFF state (S5) has occurred. However, the computer is only hibernating. A Wake on USB event can't be triggered when the computer is hibernating.
