Wake on Lan option greyed out

So when I right click on the taskbar icon to wake up my secondary, the wake on lan option is now greyed out.   I can seamless to it fine, I can KVM to it fine, and I can even WOL it if i open multiplicity and use the option from within the GUI.  I just cant do it from the menu in the tray.  

I "think" this began presenting when I accidentally deleted my "Network" network profile.  I was deleting the ~150 entries protonVPN made and clicked a bit too rapidly.  After a restart it asked for me for permissions to allow network access to all kinds of applications again so I assume this is the result of something to that end. 

I made sure stardock multiplicty 4 has public and private network access in windows firewall but no change.   Also uninstalled multiplicity, deleted all windows firewall entries, restarted, and reinstalled multiplicity.  also restarted router/gateway/switch.  No idea what is preventing the option from even being accessible in the context menu :(

anyone ran into this before?
