Windows 8 Airplane mode switch non-existent

Moolla · Aug 1, 2013

I just installed Windows 8 64-bit Single language on my computer.
For some reason the computer was on airplane mode as seen in this photo I took of the screen: http://i.imgur.com/Os6vQcM.jpg
Also as seen in the screenshot the airplane mode switch which should be at the top of the Network tab on the right side of the screenshot is non-existent.
Is this a feature of the Single Language version or what?

Just a quick question since I have not see that situation. You seem to be showing a Hotspot as one of your wireless networks. Is that set up through the phone?

It's a router I got from my mobile phone service, Its more reliable than the internet service I get from my DSL provider, which goes to show how sucky my ISP is.

As Saltgrass suspected, your using your mobile service for your internet, hence the airplane mode like smartphones and laptops. Just turn it off and save then exit out.
