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.

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.

How to Permanently Disable Focus Assistant

Here's what I did: Start > Settings > System > Focus assist > Off

Never once have I seen or heard anything from Focus assistant - not even a hint.

 

Permanently disable Focus Assist?

I've noticed the Focus Assist feature for a couple of weeks now and I've always wondered why it keeps enabling itself. It makes me miss potentially important notifications. It looks like Focus Assist enables itself whenever my Thunderbolt 3 docking station
with two external monitors gets connected. I believe Windows thinks I'm going to go in presenting mode, and it'll hide notifications for me.

All good and well, but these are just normal work monitors. I'm not presenting anything.

I've disabled Focus Assist, again, and it will come back when I reconnect my dock... So can I prevent Focus Assist from enabling itself, i.e. permanently disable it?

Alternatively, fix Windows so it knows when I'm *actually* presenting something. But right now, it's too intelligent for its own good, or rather, not intelligent enough. I'd rather not have too much intelligence though, because I have a brain that's most
likely better for the foreseeable future

Besides, most presenting tools tell Windows to withhold notifications anyway, so we don't really need another mechanism.
