Unable to turn off Airplane Mode on E6530
My Dell Latitude E6530 laptop running Windows 10 is stuck in airplane mode. I've tried:
* Turning off airplane mode from the Toolbar and from Settings (it immediately turns itself back on). This model does not have a hardware switch.
* Pressing Fn and Prnt Scrn, holding for up to 30 seconds.
* Pressing Fn and F2, holding for up to 30 seconds.
* Updating the drivers.
* Disabling the option to Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power in the Power Management properties of the drivers.
* Disabling the Airplane Mode Switch Collection.
* Uninstalling the Airplane Mode Switch.
What else might fix it?

Hi, I was also stuck for about half an hour. Then I just moved the little sliding button next to the expresscard slot on the right. It slides forward to "A" position and backwards. Its very likely that your button is on the forward position. It fixed mine instantly.

Thanks, Robert! I tried the only 2 new suggestions and no soap:
* Disabling and enabling my wifi connection through the network adapter.
* Uninstalling my wireless adapter and restarting my laptop.
Any other ideas?

Thank you so much for posting this, I worked on this problem for hours and then it was just a little switch button that was the problem. Thank You!
