File Sharing & Remote login turn off after restarting iMac

Hi there,


I have a late 2013 iMac and a mid 2011 MacBook Air which both run OSX El Capitan 10.11.5. I have File Sharing, Remote Login, Remote management and Bluetooth Sharing enabled on both my iMac and MacBook Air. However, when I restart my iMac, File Sharing and Remote Login turn themselves off and if I want to share files or control the screen from my MacBook Air, I keep on having to turn it on again.


Is there any way to keep File Sharing and Remote Login turned on after shutting down and booting up my iMac again? I don't have this problem with my MacBook Air, only my iMac.


Thanks for any help!

Apple Watch, watchOS 2.0.1
