Windows 8 airplane mode

Click/tap on the Change PC Settings at the bottom of this bar. You can enable the Airplane mode in Windows 8 and quickly turn off the WiFi and bluetooth using the following steps: But since most users only use WiFi and bluetooth only, therefore the Airplane mode affects only these settings for most of us. This mode turns off all types of wireless communications like WiFi, mobile broadband, bluetooth, GPS etc. Windows 8 makes it a little easier to switch off the wireless connections by turning on the Airplane mode for your PC. But if your notebook does not have such a flip switch, then it becomes a marathon run through the Amazon forest to find the settings and switch something off. Some of the notebooks have a WiFi switch on the side which lets you switch the wireless communications on or off. In smartphones it is very easy to switch off the WiFi connections, but if you have a Windows 8 notebook, then things are done differently. If you are carrying a notebook on an airplane flight, then most probably you would be told to switch off the WiFi communications before the flight takes off.
