Windows 10 airplane mode.......on a desktop?

My newish win10 desktop computer did something quite unusual today.

for no apparent reason, the Internet/network controller went into airplane mode with no obvious way to turn it off. Couldn't even find a command for it, only a notice in the bottom right corner of the screen stating "airplane mode" complete with a icon of a little plane (icon did nothing though).
stranger yet, I don't even have wifi or Bluetooth on this machine, just Ethernet cabled to the router.
had to take it in to a shop & have win10 reloaded. image.jpg
 
What's you vector Victor?
 
This is terrible. MicroSoft wouldn't do that to PC users, would they?
 
I just did a full search on my PC's, and none of them have that absurdity.
I suppose when they built XP they didn't figure anyone would carry any type of device on an airplane and try to use it.
Look at all the fun I am missing out on.
I feel so left out.

Now, where's that Bourbon.....

More than likely, which means, the car will shut down when approaching any airport! BOY, that would be a ringer! :highly_amused: PJ
