ENVIRONMENT
Asus VivoMini UN62-M033R
Intel Core i3-4030U @ 1.90 GHz 1.90 GHz
UEFI BIOS 0226 x64 Build 11/05/2014 9.5.20.1742
Windows 8.1 64-bit
WINDOWS SETTINGS
Windows Power Options: power button shuts down computer.
BIOS SETTINGS
BIOS -> Advanced -> APM:
ErP Ready: Disabled
Restore AC Power Loss: Power on
Power on by PCIE: Disabled
Power on by RTC: Disabled
BEHAVIOR
Pressing the computer's Power button: computer shuts down.
I assume it still draws some current, to react on wake-on-LAN events; so the UEFI BIOS should still monitor the power.
Now I disconnect the power physically.
When I plug the power cord back in, I'd expect the computer to power on, right? (It does on 2 other computers, having i7 CPUs.)
But nope, the thing doesn't start up; I have to press the Power button.
What did I not consider?

I wouldn't expect that to auto-boot after power-loss. It is correctly 'restoring state'... which was 'shut down'. – Tetsujin – 2017-06-06T08:03:11.200
2Sounds like a hardware/firmware bug to me. Have you tried flashing the firmware? – davidgo – 2017-06-06T08:04:58.743
1+1 for updating the BIOS. Your setting of "Restore AC Power Loss" is OK, the system should turn on when AC power comes back. – Nassbirne – 2017-06-06T12:05:25.267
@Tetsujin, this is not correct. In BIOS -> Advanced -> APM -> Restore AC Power Loss there is an Option "Last state" which, when selected, would do what you say. However, my setting is "Power On". – Herb – 2017-06-06T14:48:50.757
fair enough - mine does exactly that, but only has 2 options, on or off. On == last state. btw, please don't put your fix in the question, make it an answer. – Tetsujin – 2017-06-06T14:52:00.600
