Is there a way to send a WOL magic packet in windows 10 without some extra software?

what I’m looking to do is wake my synology nas when my computer is switched on

If you are OK with scripting, a search for "powershell wake on lan script" comes up with several examples.

I would just run Wolcmd as a scheduled task on startup with the parameters as the arguments.
