Go to HPs website and see if there is an updated driver.

There are a few laptops with an airplane mode bug that needs a patch directly from the manufacturer.

there are two different ways that you can turn off your PC's airplane mode

1: you can disable airplane mode in the notification panel.

2: run the troubleshooter.

3: check the services in the computer manager if it's not running then right your mouse on it then click start.

Also, check for a keyboard shortcut that enables and disables airplane mode. (Like Fn + F11). Also, you can disable airplane mode in the notifications panel on the right of the screen.

I have had this issue before, but it was on a del laptop. I ran the troubleshooter, and it fixed the issue. Try going to start and searching troubleshooter, It should bring up a page to run different troubleshooting tests.
