I have an odd combination of issues with my acer nitro 5 spin 2019 laptop -

I seem to have the airplane mode issue that is frequently identified. When my computer hibernates (when I close the screen), and I turn it back on, I find that it is stuck in airplane mode. When I try to turn it off, the ability to do so is greyed out. I can't even access other menus related to the wifi and network settings when this happens, the only fix that works is restarting the computer. At this point, I'm restarting 1-2 times per day, every time I move somewhere with my laptop. I have updated all drivers and have updated the computer itself to the most recent updates as of 1/20/2020.

The computer also regularly experiences failures when I shut it while it has low battery. I find the battery dies, I get Kernel-Power failure errors, and I have to restart after a blue screen error. No idea why this has happened, updated everything and removed possible malware.

Whats going on? Are these related?

A workaround: make a .reg file to change the state of Airplane Mode. Copy the script below, or go to the key SystemRadioState in Regedit and export it. Change 00000000 to 00000001 to turn Airplane Mode on.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\RadioManagement\SystemRadioState]
@=dword:00000000
