Wrong status of airplane mode


Hello.

I am using hp 14-r029tx and windows 10 pro. The problem is, I have my wifi on. But the airplane mode status shows activated which means airplane mode is on. If my wifi is on then how come airplane mode is also on? attaching a screenshot. Sometimes wifi takes too much time to load and sometimes have to reboot also. my wifi adapter is QUALCOMM Atheros qca 9565 with Bluetooth.

 

Wrong status of airplane mode

Welcome to TenForums - and I have same wrongness on this as you razrh - it's pretty d--- annoying.

My Wifi starts out colored every time I restart Windows and it is ON. My Airplane mode button ALSO starts out colored in when I start WIndows and it is definitely OFF - even though the colored status meant it was ON in previous builds. IOW, both buttons are colored in normal startup mode where WiFi is ON and Airplane mode is OFF - shouldn't be that way.

If I either cycle Wifi off then on or cycle airplane mode on then off again - the Wifi button will be colored to indicate on (as it should) and the airplane mode button will be unlit to indicate it is off (as it should) and I am connected to wireless then.

This showed up when I upgraded to Win 1511/10586 (Home, not Pro) whereas is behaved correctly in Win RTM/10240. Just another one of those less than satisfying aspects of TH2, probably part of why it seems to have been pulled from Techbench and MCT (hopefully not replaced until there's a more appropriately behaving build released).

 

How to disable Airplane mode permanently on Windows 10?

Hi Hunky,

As you are facing issues with turning on or off Airplane on your device, do not worry we will help you with this issue.

Do let us know if you have made any changes to the operating system prior to this issue?

The option you are looking for to permanently disable Airplane mode is unfortunately not available.

Let us try few of the below troubleshooting steps to disable Airplane mode and check if it helps.

Step 1: To turn off Airplane mode from Settings and check.

• Press Windows key, click on Settings
  from the left pane.
• Click on Network & Internet.
• Under Airplane mode turn it off and check.

Step 2: To Turn On or Off Airplane Mode in Network Notification Area Icon

• 
  Click on the Network icon in the taskbar notification area.
  
• 
  Click on the Airplane mode button to toggle on or off.
  

Step 3: To Turn On or Off Airplane Mode in Action Center

• 
  Open Action Center by clicking Windows + A keys from keyboard.
  
• 
  Click on the Airplane mode quick action button to toggle on or off.
  

If the settings are not refining, this issue might have occurred due to corrupted/ missing system files.

Step 4: I suggest you to run SFC scan and check if it helps.

System File Checker is a utility in Windows that allows users to scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore corrupted files. If a
Windows Resource Protection (WRP) file is missing or is corrupted, Windows may not behave as expected.

Follow the below steps:

• Right click on the Start button, click on
  Command Prompt (Admin).
• Type “sfc /scannow” without the quotes and hit
  Enter.
• After the scan, restart the computer and check for the issue.

Hope it helps. Reply to the post with updated status of disabling the Airplane mode for further assistance.

Thank you.
