Windows 10: November 30, 2020 Windows 10 update disabled my Wifi and Airplane Mode on my Dell Latitude...

After the 11-30-2020 Windows 10 update my wifi and airplane mode functions will not work on my Dell Latitude E5530. I've searched online for a solution and have tried everything.

I tried to uninstall the update but that option was not available.

I can connect to the internet via a LAN cable but not wifi.

There is no restore point prior to the update so I could not go that route.

When I select the wifi button in settings it turns on for two seconds then reverts back to off.

The airplane mode button is grayed out and you can't select it.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

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.

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.
