Hi Harjot,
 Steps to turn on the airplaine mode.

Press Windows key on the keyboard
Click on Settings window (PC Settings)
Go to Network icon 
Choose Network & Internet category.
The second setting on the left column is Airplane mode.
Turn it On.
If it does not work do a BIOS default and then try again.

Steps to do BIOS default:                    
Press and hold the power button for 10 seconds, or until your system shuts completely down.
Power on the system. As soon as the first logo screen appears, immediately press F2 for notebooks or Delete for desktops to enter the BIOS.
Press F9 and then Enter to load the default configuration.
Press F10 and then Enter to save and exit.
