    I have windows 10 pro and in my notifications and action center, airplane mode is in blue and wont let me turn it off, I'm using a desktop and not a laptop anyway to fix this or is this normal?

    Windows 10 Airplane Mode in Action Center display question

    Hi,

    I'm running Windows 10 on an ASUS laptop and have lost wifi intermittently. Looking at Action Center I see that the Airplane Mode and WiFi buttons are both blue, which indicates to me that both are on. When I go to Settings>Network&Internet, Airplane Mode
    is Off and WiFi and Bluetooth are both On. Because of what the Action Center is showing is Airplane Mode getting turned on and causing my WiFi problems? If I turn off Airplane Mode in Settings, shouldn't it display as greyed out in Action Center?

    Gary

  3. Windows 10 - Airplane Mode Indicator "On" at startup

    I had the same problem (airplane mode was displayed in the taskbar but it was not active and I was connected to wifi) and found the answer. I opened the action center and clicked the airplane mode toggle. To be clear, I did not go into the network section
    via the action center and then click the airplane mode. I just open action center, click the airplane toggle (1st icon, 2nd row of my action center) and when I did, the airplane mode icon disappeared and the normal network icon appeared. There was no change
    in connectivity in doing so.

  5. Yeah, there was a time when Wifi and Airplane worked in Notification & Action Center.

    MS decided that this belonged in the network Center. Press the network icon to show the same tiles - they work there.

  7. Do you have a physical on/off switch for your WiFi card. Turn the switch on and you should be able to turn off airplane mode.

  9. I am having this same issue. Airplane mode stays on, this disables the detection/display of WiFi/Bluetooth on a desktop machine.

    I also have the issue with windows 10 pro not turning off airplane mode don't know if this is also causing other issues like , This pc wont find other pcs on my network . Windows 8.1 pro seemed to be much smoother and smarter than windows 10 pro .Hope these glitches get fixed soon updated 5 pcs on my network to 10 pro hate to redo them back to 8.1 pro any ideas on fixing these issues ?

    While I didn't write in about the issues in this thread, I just had this problem happen to my computer and I want to thank you VERY VERY MUCH for putting up the solution to the issue and also (of course, I don't believe you have control over this) thanks to someone, anyone, or noone for making it such a simple solution!

    Do you think this issue happened because someone hit Fn PrtScr by accident? I'd imagine that is a random and not an easy combo to hit, but not when you have a cat who's favorite thing in the world is to walk on my laptop when I'm working at peak proficiency which will happen ~3 to 4x per day and it just so happen that's about the amount of times he'll do his struttin'. And then once I step away from my computer for a minimum of 30 seconds, 50% of the time the cat will be using the laptop as his personal space heater.

    So, I'm thinking that this could have caused it? While I'm interested in the why?, it is fixed now and I got my thanks out and a little story that POSSIBLY created a few smiles so if I figure out a way, cool, but if not, its pretty low on my 'to do' list.
    Thanks again,
    Ryan
