Windows 10: Wrong status of airplane mode

Hello.

I am using hp 14-r029tx and windows 10 pro. The problem is, I have my wifi on. But the airplane mode status shows activated which means airplane mode is on. If my wifi is on then how come airplane mode is also on? attaching a screenshot. Sometimes wifi takes too much time to load and sometimes have to reboot also. my wifi adapter is QUALCOMM Atheros qca 9565 with Bluetooth.

:)

 

Why is Airplane Mode always on since the latest Windows 10 update?

Brand new Surface Pro 4.

I have this airplane mode problem. The button shows airplane mode active in the status display after restarts, even though it was turned off when the computer was shut down.

The thing is that airplane mode should turn off Bluetooth and wifi, right?; if it really were active. But they are both still on. If I manually turn off airplane mode, Bluetooth and wifi go off for a few seconds, but then come back on. At that point, the
airplane mode icon is not active (turned off). After reboot, the airplane mode button comes back on. But, I think the problem is that airplane mode is really
not on; just the button - erroneously.

 

Network icon disappeared from taskbar after Windows 10 Update 1511

Have this issue also. Turning of Airplane mode off and insuring network connections is on still leaves the airplane icon in the task and no network connections icon. Airplane icon always says no network regardless of status.

 

I think the blue color on airplane mode stands for "click to enable". What happens if you click the button? Is there any message or indication you are in flight mode? I have no Wi-Fi at the moment, so I cannot test it and tell you.

 

Maybe it's a programming error with Microsoft. I get the same thing:

 

No it is OK. Airplane mode is off means you can connect to internet. On means you cannot.

 

Welcome to TenForums - and I have same wrongness on this as you razrh - it's pretty d--- annoying.

My Wifi starts out colored every time I restart Windows and it is ON. My Airplane mode button ALSO starts out colored in when I start WIndows and it is definitely OFF - even though the colored status meant it was ON in previous builds. IOW, both buttons are colored in normal startup mode where WiFi is ON and Airplane mode is OFF - shouldn't be that way.

If I either cycle Wifi off then on or cycle airplane mode on then off again - the Wifi button will be colored to indicate on (as it should) and the airplane mode button will be unlit to indicate it is off (as it should) and I am connected to wireless then.

This showed up when I upgraded to Win 1511/10586 (Home, not Pro) whereas is behaved correctly in Win RTM/10240. Just another one of those less than satisfying aspects of TH2, probably part of why it seems to have been pulled from Techbench and MCT (hopefully not replaced until there's a more appropriately behaving build released).

 

If I click the blue button airplane mode activates and the button stays blue. Yes, its a bug I think. Its happening after upgrading to threshold 2.

 

Thanks wordman. After upgrading to threshhold 2 the problem is occuring.

 

Unplug the USB cable from your UPS if you have one and reboot. I fought this for days and I think the UPS battery makes the desktop think it's a lappy, don't know but do know it worked for me. I"d appreciate hearing if this works for others or if it was just me. Plugging in the USB cable afterwards did not reinstate the fault.

It is a laptop bro.

 

Can you try pulling the battery, pull the AC and hold the power button for 15 seconds or so and then reconnecting things? It'll only waste a few minutes. Good luck. Sorry, I missed that it was a laptop.

 

@razrh -

Hey, I just stumbled upon this - if you select the airplane mode button as one of the "Quick actions" (Settings/System/Notifications & actions/"choose your quick actions"), i.e., pin it as one of the top 4 buttons in the action center, the button behaves appropriately - still a bug but it's less annoying for me in the top row and more accessible - would be interested to know if this works for you.

EDIT - so, now with that done, my Bluetooth button is lit even thought Bluetooth is OFF. Pfffff..... If I put the Bluetooth among the 4 quick actions, it behaves correctly, BUT the damn airplane mode button lights up again even though it's also among the 4 quick actions! Curiouser and curiouser...*Rolleyes

 

I don't know why microsoft even released such a buggy windows! Why are they so rushing? They could have taken more time to finish completing windows 10 properly then release it. Its not even ready yet for the world. >_<

 

Well, if there's any rushing on their part, I would think problems can be compounded by the rush. IOW, it's often the case that, when you fix one thing, you can break another.

I guess I'll just be patient about this as, aside from this one annoyance, everything seems to work OK for me. Even though my Bluetooth button is lit, I know that it's off.
