Wifi Hardware Switch Nonresponsive

After upgrading my Dell Precision M4800 from Windows 7 to Windows 10 the physical Wifi switch on the side of the laptop does not toggle Wifi on or off. Wifi still works and can still be disabled in Windows. Wifi adapter drivers are up to date but have not been deleted and reinstalled. Is there a settings option in Windows or BIOS that enables functionality of the physical switch?

    Some laptops with hardware WiFi switch have a BIOS setting. Enter BIOS and see if Wireless Switch is set to "All" and Wireless Device Enable is set to "All".
