Airplane Modeis a usual thing in many devices nowadays. And computers using Windows 10/8/8.1 aren’t different.
Airplane Modeis a very useful feature, especially for business people who travel by plane a lot, but it also could cause some problems, and we’re here to try to solve it.
How do I remove Airplane Mode in laptop?

But once you get off the plane, and yourAirplane Modeis still turned on, you’ll definitely want to turn it off again, but what if you can’t? Don’t worry, try some of these solutions, and you’ll probably solve your problem.
1. Turn Off Airplane Mode from Networks pane
First, just in case you should check if you turned offAirplane Modecorrectly, to turn off theAirplane Mode, do the following:
2. Via Action Center in Windows 10
3. Turn off Airplane Mode from Settings
If you want to permanently turn off Airplane Mode, you can do so by going to the Setting menu and switch it off.
What to do if you can’t turn off Airplane Mode?
In case you’re not able to turn it off at all, because the switch is grayed out, check if there’s no physical wireless On/Of switch on the device. If you find a physical switch device and it is set to Off, just switch it back to On and you should be able to turn off theAirplane modeon your laptop.
