Good question...but I'm not sure.What I do is make the computers turn on with the keyboard.Most bios supports this now,& I find works great.

No reason why it shouldn't work.A matter of preference I guess.

Windows Media Center remotes work great on Kodi. I have HP HTPCs. If you have an Android phone or tablet, install an app called yatse on your phone. It turns your phone into a kodi remote control. It works even better than a windows remote.
