    Why is WiFi working despite the hardware switch on my HP pavilion despite being stuck on OFF?


    My F12 key does not work anymore, and this is key that is used to toggle wifi on and off.

    However, I CAN connect to WiFi in windows 10.

    But when I booted an Ubuntu live USB today, I couldn't use the wifi because, of course, it is 'hard blocked'. Why is this happening? Why can I use my wifi on Windows 10? Is there any way to use my wifi on Ubuntu too?

    Regions speech not available despite correct language pack install

    The issue still remains unresolved, as English (Australia) simply does not show up in the list despite following all suggested steps to date (which I had done previously)

    wifi icon stuck in airplane mode despite full connectivity


    I just (Dec. 19, 2015) completed the latest update to Windows 10, had trouble with my volume icon, fixed it, then found my wifi icon is stuck in airplane mode despite the laptop having full wifi functionality. Tried turning system icons on and off through the "task bar and start menu properties" dialog box, tried various combinations of "on" and "off" while restarting the entire system, nothing works. I've connected and reconnected wirelessly by both using a physical button (shaped like an antenna emitting parentheses-shaped waves) and by using the icon that's now stuck in airplane mode. I can access the internet, but I can't see the status in the task bar as I used to. All I see is the icon shaped like an airplane, even while I'm clearly not in airplane mode and when I should therefore be seeing the wifi icon.

    I know this is a very specific situation, but does anyone know of a possible solution? As the wifi connection can be unstable, it would be nice to have the icon functioning again so I know at a glance when my wifi is out.
