Dell Inspiron 15 stuck in airplane mode Windows 10

SkyeWolfe,

You can click the link below for information resolving airplane mode not turning off.

AIRPLANE MODE NOT TURNING OFF IN WINDOWS 10 (FIXED)

As stated in my post, I have already tried all of those solutions

SkyeWolfe,

Delete the wireless devices in device manager as well as all the instances of the wwan that are listed. , Reboot the computer and reinstall the Wireless drivers back into the computer. You can then verify that you can turn off Airplane Mode.

Please read what steps I have already tried before suggesting solutions. As stated I have "uninstalled Wireless adapter and restarted PC"

SKYEWOLFE,

Try removing all the WAN instances listed in your 2nd link above link as well as the wireless card drivers. Reboot the computer. 

I have tried to remove everything in the networks section and it is still stuck

having the same problems. uninstalled the wireless adapter, and my computer doesn't do anything, and since its stuck in airplane mode we can't just go on and download the drivers. Try going back to a later build. Under settings and Update& Security, there is an option under recovery. This did not work for me because the update was longer than 60 days ago, maybe for you though? You can try to go to backup and restore to a different date too. All of our dates did not work. It acted like it was going to restore but when it was finished it said that there was some error that caused the restore to fail. Today I'm downloading the drivers onto a USB and uploading them on my computer to see if that fixes it. It was a suggestion not used one here. Goodluck! Also my volume function keys are not working as well.

Dawnward i am having exactly the same problems as yours.Any update from you on what have u done so far? It just happened to me last 4 days ago amd i dont know why....

Any one from here to help.

Thank you...

Hi SkyeWolfie,

I was having the same issue.

Now it has been resolved.

Please try with long pressing wifi key + fn + prntscr altogether.

I hope this works out for you as well.

Do lemme know if it was helpful at all.

SkyeWolfie,

Hopefully by now you have fixed the issue. I was having the same issue on my E7240. On the left hand-side there is a little switch pull it forward (towards you) it will enable you to turn off airplane mode. The switch when set away for you locks the mode in place and can't be unset through the settings GUI.

Hope it helps you or others.

I also had my AW 15 R2 stuck in airplane mode following a motherboard replacement/win 10 install.  Based on above info, pressing Fn and the wireless key (f2) took me out of airplane mode and suddenly wireless was available.  Not sure why it defaulted that way during the win 10 installation its out now.  Thanks for the info.  Gm.

I had this problem on an Inspiron that I was trying to fix. I downloaded the Dell Quickset Application for my system and was able to use the 'WIFI' function key to turn the wireless back on. Hope this works for you!
