Wifi and Hotspot are disabled in my Dell laptop Dell Inspiron 15 3542. Airplane Mode is ON but greyed out. Not able to off it. It all happened after a fresh install of Windows 10 version 1803 which I downloaded from official site. It was well working till the drivers and updates are downloaded and installed automatically by windows. But after the system was requested to reboot and it rebooted with airplane mode ON and afterward, I could not turn off the airplane mode and not able to use wifi and hotspot. I have tried almost all the methods that have been seen from internet sources. but there was no change. Current Os Build Number is 17134.112  

Please resolve the issue as soon as possible.

    Try following -

    1. Windows Key+I > Network & Internet > Airplane Mode > See whether it allows you to toggle it Off.
    2. If above doesn't work, Device Manager > Locate Network Adapter > Right Click > Disable

    After some time enable it.

    The first method does not work. 

    The second one seems to be complicated.
