Airplane mode is needed to turn off WiFi, notifications, and Bluetooth functions immediately. This creates all the conditions for a flight in an airplane. Sometimes it happens that Airplane Mode in Windows 11 turns on and off. This applies most often to laptops, but the airplane mode button can get stuck on home computers. In this tutorial, we’ll walk you through the steps on what to do and how to fix it when the airplane mode function button is stuck and does not turn off in Windows 11.
