Hi, Taylor Shaw2

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

We understand that you are experiencing problems with your laptop automatically turning on Airplane Mode and causing the network to be unable to connect, this may be related to the driver and network configuration settings, we recommend that you try the following options. I.Update the network driver:Go to Device Manager, locate your network adapter, right-click on it and select “Update Driver”.

Disable Airplane Mode via Command Prompt:Try to re-enable the Wi-Fi adapter by opening the command prompt as administrator and running the following command.netsh int set interface name=“Wi-Fi” admin=enabledIV. Check the network configuration information:i.Reset the network1. Search for CMD, open it and find Command Prompt (, run it in administrator) mode.2. In the command box that pops up, enter the following commands in order (enter the next one after each line has finished running) ipconfig /release

ipconfig /renew

ipconfig /flushdns

ipconfig /registerdns

netsh int ip reset

netsh winsock reset

netsh winhttp reset proxy
  1. Restart the computer to see if the problem can be solved.ii.Reset Network SettingsTap windows+R, type inetcpl.cpl, open Internet Options, click Advanced, and check “Use SSL 3.0”, “Use TLS 1.0”, “Use TLS 1.1”, ‘Use TLS 1.2’, reboot the computer after applying them to see if the problem can be solved.iii.Reset Proxy Server SettingsTap windows+R, type inetcpl.cpl, open Internet Options, click Connections, tap LAN Settings, check whether the Proxy Server column is checked, if so, uncheck it and tap OK, restart your computer after applying it to see if it can solve the problem.V.

Shutting down just toggles airplane mode and reboots - Windows - Spiceworks Community
September 29, 2015 - I’ve been seeing this for a few days on my Inspiron 13 7000 series laptop. When it started, I went to shut down my laptop at the end of the day and saw that instead of shutting down, it just went into airplane mode. Figuring I must of mis-clicked something, I carefully clicked Power → Shut Down.

Consider it's related to power save settings on Wired or wireless network adapter. Please try to check on this option:

If this doesn't work, export the energy report by running this commands and post here:

powercfg /energy

I have noticed this error in your energy report, it seems that there is the USB mouse may cause your issue. Please unplug this mouse and see if your sleep can work fine.

USB Suspend:USB Device not Entering Selective Suspend

This device did not enter the USB Selective Suspend state. Processor power management may be prevented when this USB device is not in the Selective Suspend state. Note that this issue will not prevent the system from sleeping.

Device Name USB Composite Device

Host Controller ID PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_9D2F

Host Controller Location PCI bus 0, device 20, function 0

Device ID USB\VID_046D&PID_C52F (This is an usb mouse device)

Port Path 2

See these: please configure your sleep mode again, in advanced power option, enable USB settings:

Power Policy:Sleep timeout is disabled (Plugged In) The computer is not configured to automatically sleep after a period of inactivity. Power Policy:USB Selective Suspend is disabled (Plugged In) The current power policy has globally disabled USB selective suspend.

Weird issue.

Not sure if this is related to the insider preview version. Since such version of Windows are still in testing, some issue can be noticed when it was used, you can submit some feedback to see if there's any similar issue.

At this time, i would like to suggest you to update the BIOS and run commands below to repair system components:

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

SFC /scannow

Basically at any random time, the computer can just switch into airplane mode. I have messed with the power management settings with the adapter. I have updated the adapter. I have installed windows updates. Nothing can fix this problem. Major credit if you can solve this one.

Go into device manager and remove the network/WIFI adaptor and reboot. If that doesn't work open a elevated command prompt and type in "sfc /scannow" to fix the file system.

Hi Ganesh. I'm Greg, 10 years awarded Windows MVP, specializing in Installation, Performance, Troubleshooting and Activation, here to help you.

  1. Try ALL of these fixes for Airplane mode until one works:

  1. Go over Windows using this checklist to make sure the install is set up correctly, optimized for best performance, and any needed repairs get done: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wiki...

Start with Step 4 to turn off Startup freeloaders which can conflict and cause issues, then Step 7 to check for infection the most thorough way, then step 10 to check for damaged System Files, and also Step 16 to test a new Local Admin account. Then continue with the other steps to go over your install most thoroughly.

  1. Update your drivers and BIOS/UEFI firmware from the PC or motherboard maker's Support Downloads web page, using the full model number, Serial Number or Dell Service Tag on sticker. Compare the latest drivers available for download with the ones presently installed in Device Manager reached by right clicking the Start button. Make sure you have the latest BIOS or UEFI firmware, Chipset, Display (Video), Sound, USB3, Bluetooth, Network and all other drivers, or else download and install the latest now.

Updating drivers from the Device Manager or Windows Update is rarely enough. The most basic thing we need to learn to maintain a PC is keep the latest manufacturer's drivers installed from their Support Downloads web page. Everything else depends on this.

  1. If nothing else works then do a Repair Install, by installing Media Creation Tool, open tool and choose to Upgrade Now. This reinstalls Windows while keeping files, programs and most settings in place, is the most stable method to advance to the latest version, and solves most problems. Tutorial here: https://www.tomshardware.com/how-to/fix-windows...

Feel free to ask back any questions. Based on the results you post back I may have other suggestions if necessary.

Solved: Airplane Mode Stuck on. - HP Support Community - 5827463
November 29, 2019 - The other thing to try would be go to device manager locate your adapters then reboot your machine and let windows reinstall them this may and I repeat may clear up the problem. Mind you I found my own solution but I researched it on more than one site to no avail before I came to the HP website. But on one these threads it said make sure you have all updates and when I put the anniversary update in it fixed itself. ... Yes it's Windows 10 but it was the free version Microsoft offered as a download some time back.
