Had windows 10 running for a couple of weeks ,liked it and was happy with the system until. The airplane mode turned on and would not shut off. My computer which is a desk top with an i7-3820 on and Asus Sabertooth MB, with 16 GB memory, Samsung EVO HD, GTX 970 SLI, and was running on windows 7 previously for 3 years with no problems all updates current. I tried the windows 10 restart and down load with no resolve. Unable to connect to the internet. The computer ran and showed I had an internet connection but remained in airplane mode???? I finally reinstalled windows seven and contacted Microsoft and they had no answer for the problem. I will continue to stay with seven, until Microsoft fixes the airplane mode or removes it for desk top units. I have yet to carry my desktop with me on an airplane.

The amusing part is you did not under stand or read the entire message. I could not connect to the internet not on wireless but on the hard wire cat 6 cable. I do not run wireless on my desk top that would be dumb! I was just putting the message out there for others .

Yeah, I think you missed something in your troubleshooting. There's no way that airplane mode should have any effect on your ethernet connection.
