Windows 10: Disable just the airplain mode action key?

I keep accidentally pressing f12 which is the "Airplane mode action key". It is very annoying when I need a constant internet connection. I want to keep my action keys on but just disable the Airplane mode key. I have already done this for the built-in "help" (f1 on hp laptops), by following a tutorial and using a bat file that changed the registry to disable the help key. But there are not tutorials for disabling airplane mode action key, and I'm not sure where it is in the registry. Thanks for any assistance you may provide

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.

 

Disable Action Center in Windows 7?

Unfortunately that doesn't disable Action Center, all it does it cause Acution Center to bitch about the Security Center service not running.

Action Center seems to be a different beast from Security Center...

And telling it to not display any messages gets it out of the way, the same way disabling the icon in the suggestions above does, but Action Center is still enabled and running.

Hi Navil,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I suggest you to follow the steps for newer BIOS to disable the function keys and check if it helps:

1. Restart the computer. When the hp logo appears, immediately press ESC key then
F10 to enter the BIOS setup utility.

2. In the BIOS setup utility, open the Configuration menu, and change the setting of
Action keys mode to Disabled.

3. Open the Exit Menu, and select Exit Saving Changes.

Note: When action keys mode is disabled, press the Fn key and the appropriate hotkey(F1-F12) to access the corresponding hotkey function.
