FIX: Airplane Mode Turns On and Off continuously (Solved)
If the Airplane mode continuously turns on/off by itself, read this article to fix the problem.
A few days ago, after installing updates on a laptop, airplane mode started turning on and off constantly, as if someone kept pressing and repressing the Airplane on/off switch.
After I checked and made sure the airplane mode button wasn't pressed, I then went to updates to see what device driver updates were installed that could cause this problem. Of all the installed drivers there was one that I didn't recognize, named: Insyde – HIDClass
So I decided to search the net, to find out what the "Insyde – HIDClass" driver is. And luckily, I found it in the Microsoft Update catalog with a description: Driver Model: Insyde Airplane Mode HID Mini-Driver, which seems to be the driver for the "airplane mode" button (physical switch). And yes, that was the culprit! If you face the same issue, read the instructions below to fix the problem.
