November Update and Airplane Mode

[GatsbyGlen]

With the latest update, I've noticed in the Notification Center that airplane mode is toggled on, as well as Bluetooth and Wireless. So wireless is working. If I go to the actual Airplane Mode setting, it says it is off. Is this just a visual display bug in the notification center? This some problem happened on two machine that have updated (Lenovo laptop, and a Surface Pro 4).

I noticed the same thing too. I toggled Flight Mode off, which actually turned Flight Mode on and killed the WiFi. But then with Flight Mode off I toggled WiFI on and I was reconnected. Obviously this is some kind of a glitch (among a few others like the Mail app Live Tile not updating itself) which I expect MS to fix in short order (or at least I hope so!!!).

Same here. Reset the PC for greater certainty and it still did the same thing. Must be a bug.

One idea is to see what the Airplane Mode Switch is set to do. There must be a way to alter what the Airplane Mode Switch does and for it to Toggle the WiFi and all Radios on and off. There needs to be a link between the other functions its controlling. You can even assign a Function Key to activate Airplane Mode and switch off all radio transmission functions.
