Windows 10: Airplane mode shortcut not working and airplane mode is grayed out

Before, airplane mode was grayed out but Fn + PrtScr worked to toggle it.Then, I disabled the Airplane Mode Switch Collection in device management, turned WLAN Autoconfig back on, enabled WiFi adapter in control panel, restarted the laptop, and then airplane wasn't grayed out with Airplane Mode Switch Collection enabled or disabled, but Fn + PrtScr didn't work. It worked before with the WiFi adapter disabled and WLAN Autoconfig off. It's not the keys, the keys work fine. I can toggle Fn lock with Fn + Esc and take screenshots with Win + PrtScr or just by pressing PrtScr.Now, after I disabled

problem was:

pc cant connect to wifi cos airplane mode randomly turned on by itself

you can google to see why computer does that - microsoft seems to have never fixed this

fixed this by turning off something in services (this goes to show how many services are bad and should be off by default, again a long-standing microsoft problem that they've never made better)


new problem:

the wifi icon on botton left changed to the airplane mode icon

and when old problem was fixed, airplane mode icon is stuck like that

what are steps to fix?

what are troubleshoot this?
