Airplane mode
Hello everyone,
Apparently this is a common issue, but none of the proposed solutions I have seen online so far are working for me. The issue is that my Dell Precision M4800 with Windows 10 is stuck in airplane mode. Whenever I go into network settings and click the button to turn airplane mode off, it just switches back on. I am eager to hear about any solutions you guys may have for this issue. Thanks.
