I can't use any network on my Dell inspiron 15R 5537 laptop. Airplane mode is enabled automatically and it can't be disabled.

How can I disable airplane mode permanently? Can I remove the airplane mode option by editing the Registry?

  • Are you entirely sure about this? Airplane mode is always on on my Windows 10 PC 24/7/365 and I can use networks just fine. Airplane mode only disables the radios.

Power options might be turning it off:

  1. Go to Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Power Options\Edit Plan Settings
  2. Click "Change advanced power settings".
  3. Under "Wireless Adapter Settings -> Power Saving Mode" some of those options could be turning airplane mode on, and wireless off.

To prevent WiFi being shut off:

  1. Open Device Manager
  2. Right-click on Network Adapters -> [Wireless adapter] (something like Intel Wireless...)
  3. Click Properties
  4. Click Power Management tab
  5. Uncheck "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power"

My laptop is a Dell latitude 7280.

Normally the laptop is always connected to wifi either at home or in the office. Today I realised I was in airplane mode. Whenever I disabled airplane mode in Networks it came back a few minutes later.

I Googled the problem and someone suggested the function key with the network tower symbol (in my case the home key, to the right of the F12).

I pressed it. This fixed the problem for me. Almost immediately I got back my list of wireless networks.

I think I'd somehow pressed that key earlier today.
