If you’ve already tried to simply turn off Airplane mode, but it doesn’t actually shut off, there are a number of things you can try.

  1. Restart the computer. In many circumstances, a tech problem that doesn’t have a clear cause, can be resolved with a simple reboot.

    One way to restart Windows 11 is to choose Restart from the power menu on the bottom-right side of the Start menu.

Try turning off Airplane mode a different way, like from within Settings. You can find it in the Network & internet section.

If Settings is how you always disable Airplane mode, try instead from the desktop. Select the volume/network area next to the clock, and then select the Airplane mode button.

Select the airplane button if your keyboard has one. Laptops with this button will toggle Airplane mode on or off when it’s pressed.

Disable and then enable the Airplane Mode Switch Collection device in Device Manager (if you see it; not all computers have one). Doing this should refresh Windows 11’s awareness of Airplane mode, letting you disable it normally.

To do this, open Device Manager, expand the Human Interface Devices category, and then disable the device by right-clicking it and choosing Disable device. Once it’s fully disabled, right-click it once more and choose Enable device.

Uninstall the network device and then reboot to have Windows automatically reinstall it. This is also done through Device Manager. Expand the Network adapters category and then right-click the Wi-Fi adapter to find the Uninstall device option.

Run the built-in network adapter troubleshooter to have Windows attempt to identify and fix the problem automatically.

Get there through Settings: System Troubleshoot Other troubleshooters. Select Run next to Network Adapter.

Network adapter detecting problems

Update the network drivers. An outdated or missing driver might be causing the problem. A driver updater tool is the easiest way to check.

Reset Windows 11. This will return the OS to its factory default settings and fix any software-related issues that are preventing Airplane mode from turning off. This option is in Settings: System Recovery > Reset this PC.
