Windows 10: Airplane mode randomly turns on and off

I'll be playing on the computer, doing whatever, and airplane mode will just turn on, then turn off. It's been happening for quite a while, but only recently has it become a huge issue.*Mad


I have an MSI GE62 and Windows 10. As far as I can tell, nothing gets pressed to turn it on and off. I've tried turning off power saving modes and I've looked up a lot of different answers but all they do is tell me how to turn airplane mode off. This is very annoying when I'm playing online games or watching streams.


Please let me know if there is a way to make this stop happening or, better yet, get rid of airplane mode all together- I'm never going to need it. Thank you

:)

Hi,

This issue might occur due to any virus or might be due to any third party application conflict.

I suggest you to try below Methods and check if it helps.

Method 1: Full system scan using Window defender.

Scan Pc using Windows Defender.

Before start scan using Windows Defender, please update the Windows Defender.

Please follow the steps to do the same.

Step 1: Check for updates in Windows Defender.

• • •

Method 2: Clean boot

A clean boot is performed to start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This helps eliminate software conflicts that occur when you install a program.

Airplane mode randomly turns on and off

I have Norton so I did a scan with that and nothing really came up. Should I get windows defender too? I also did the clean boot and it went smoothly. Unfortunately, airplane mode turns on at random, so there's no way for me to know if it worked unless
it happens again. I'll let you know if it didn't, but if I say nothing, assume the problem is gone! thank you for the advice.

Airplane mode issue, please help!

 

My guess is the hot key function is being entered accidentally while your gaming. On most laptops its the Fn and one of the F keys at the top of the keyboard. Some will let you toggle the Fn key so all you have to press is an F key to adjust volume etc. They don't do the normal F7 or F8 function. They do the Airplane mode by default. You might be thinking your doing a game save but actually turning airplane mode on and off. Toggling the Fn function in the BIOS (if its an option) may fix it.

 

Thank you for the advice, but sadly it dd not work

 

OK, let's try something else.

Thank you, but there are times when I am pressing no buttons at all and it is happening. I do not think the issue is related to a hotkey issueThank you, but there are times when I am pressing no buttons at all and it is happening. I do not think the issue is related to a hotkey issue

 

I have actually already tried the things recommended on this page, thank you though.

Hello

I'm from Belgium and had the same problem with my new MSI GT72 6QD-883FR.
I think I've solved the problem after many hours spend on trying fix it.
Here is the solution : Mode avion GT72 6QD-883FR
Use a translator if you need.

I hope it will work for you too !

(Sorry if I made mistakes with my English *Confused )

 

Thank you, but I don't think it worked. You were telling me to repair the Bluetooth device in programs and features, correct? Unfortunately, I still have the same problem. Thank you for the advice though
(don't worry, you're english is fine!)

 

In the Action Center, The airplane mode tile does not appear. The are only 9 tiles.

 

I have been having the SAME problem with my MSI windows 10 machine. WTH..impossible to work with. I am not hitting hot keys, I have updated the driver, adjusted the power settings etc. What worked?

 

Honestly, I have no idea. One day I couldn't connect to the wifi at all, so I used an ethernet connection. Suddenly I could connect to wifi and I never had an issue with airplane mode again. I'm sorry I can't be more help, the problem just fixed itself.
