Laptop stuck in Flight Mode after running Norton Driver Updater.

Posted: 23-Oct-2023 | 9:38PM · 3 Replies ·

After running Norton Driver Updater on my laptop it has been unable to connect to WiFi. A large Flight Mode On/Off icon continually flashes On/Off at the top left of the screen. Does anyone know how to fix this issue?

Click on the Windows Notification icon at the far right of the Taskbar. Then click on the Airplane mode button.

FAQ: Norton Driver Updater
[...]

4. Is Norton Driver Updater safe for my Windows PC?

Norton Driver Updater downloads verified manufacturer's driver installers. Before updating the drivers, Norton Driver Updater backs up all existing drivers and creates a Windows system restore point.

Norton Driver Updater automatically tests the components during the scan and after an update. In case there are any problems with a newly updated driver, it marks the problematic driver with an Issue detected label. You can then revert the driver back to the previous version.

5. Can updating drivers cause any problems?

Updating drivers can cause problems in two scenarios:

  1. You try to manually update a driver and end up with updating with the wrong update.

  2. If the device manufacturer released a flawed update for the driver that introduces more problems than fixes, or has other unforeseen bugs and incompatibilities.

Norton Driver Updater helps you in both these instances. Our unique driver revert feature lets you quickly revert to a previous version of the driver.

8. How do I use Norton Driver Updater?

For instructions to update your drivers to the latest version, see Update your hardware drivers to the latest version with Norton Driver Updater.

For instructions to revert a driver to its previous version, see Restore your hardware driver to previous version.[...]
