Windows 10? Windows 11?

It's a silly question, but have you tried turning it off and on again?

We need more information.

Can you tell the rest of us what solved the issue?

I don't like unsolved mysteries, and your findings could help someone else if you let us know how you fixed it.

Might've been as simple as opening the settings app and searching "Airplane" or going to the Network & Internet section -> Airplane Mode and turning it off

And I'm ok with that!

Something that you miss - it happens to all of us - or a setting that took you a while to find. No problem.

But I'm a guy from the 90's, and it was infuriating to ask a question and find the answer via Google where someone had the exact same issue and the final result in the thread was, "hey guys, no worries! I found the answer" without any details.

How does it help anyone else?

Oh I agree, that's why I said what I said so it's not so open-ended 😛

Yep, I hate (Putting it kindly)  Individuals that say "Thanks, I fixed it" and then leave.

Especially if it's an odd problem that you Google search and you finally find a forum thread that talks about it
