After upgrading to the most recent version of Windows 10 a few weeks ago, 'Flight Mode' remained constantly on after start up. This meant I could not use WiFi at all. The only way I could connect to the internet was via a wired connection.
I contacted Microsoft five times, and had four technitions gain remote access to my computer. They entered command prompt to try and rectify the problem, deleted and reinstalled drivers, adjusted my power management settings, and even reinstalled my entire OS. I had already tried most of the suggested fixes myself, by looking at solutions online. But nothing worked.
I was even passed to some sort of advanced technition at Microsoft - and he suggested restoring my previous version of Windows. The only problem with this suggestion, was that another Microsoft technition had already reinstalled my entire OS. This meant that my 'previous version' was now the version of windows after the problematic update. When all had failed, and I had spent an entire working day trying to resolve the problem, the senior technition at Microsoft said: 'It looks like this is a compatability issue with the most recent version of Windows 10 and your machine. We're working on a resolution with our next update.'
Just when I thought there was NO solution to the problem, an IT technition in the Philosophy Department at Oxford University noticed I wasn't able to use WiFi. He suggested a fix for which I am extremely grateful. Here it is:
1. Click on the search option, next to the start menu, and type 'services'.
2. You will see a list of services installed on your machine, some of which are running, and some of which are not. In the top bar there should be options to 'stop' and 'start' these services. And when you click on each one, a description of the service will appear in the left hand box.
3. Scroll down to 'Radio Management Service', listed alphabetically.
4. Right click the service, and select 'properties'.
5. In the 'general' properties tab, there is a 'startup' section, with a dropdown menu.
6. Click on the dropdown menu, and select 'disable'. This will disable Radio Management and Flightmode on startup.
7. Reset your computer.
8. Connect to Wifi!!!! The Flight mode option may appear instead of your Wifi signal option in the bottom-right corner of your screen, but who cares? WiFi is now working!
