Popular Post BKGarry Posted January 30, 2018 Popular Post Posted January 30, 2018 I am posting this here to help a lot of people. I have been struggling, since September, to solve an issue where students could press the wireless button on a HP ProBook 4340s Laptop and put it into Airplane mode but then could not turn it back on again. I tried NetSH commands, but when airplane mode is active it couldn't see the interfaces. Finally I found a solution. There is a driver in Device Manager for the Wireless Button. I have disabled this from working by doing the following, MAKE SURE YOU TEST IT FIRST In group policy go to: Computer config --> Admin Templates --> System --> Device Installation --> Device Installation Restrictions Prevent installation of devices using drivers that match these device IDs: Click "Enabled" Under Options: Click "Show..." Then I added the Device ID for the HP wireless button (which is tucked away in Human Interface Devices in Device Manager), the HID for this is ACPI\VEN_HPQ&DEV_6001 - Yours may be different so please check this in Device Manager on the client. Check off "Also apply to matching devices that are already installed" 7
NB9457 Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 Manufacturers really need to do something about this, even in the BIOS would be nice, just anything! Thanks for the tip though, see if there's anything similar on our Stone laptops, happens regular with these. 1
BKGarry Posted January 30, 2018 Author Posted January 30, 2018 Could very well be, @NB9457 If you find the HID pop it on the thread, share the love
Arthur Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 (edited) Yours may be different so please check this in Device Manager on the client. On some of our recent Dell Latitude E7470s running Windows 10 there are several Airplane mode switches. The hardware IDs for these are: Airplane Mode Switch ACPI\VEN_DELL&DEV_ABCE Airplane Mode Switch Collection HID\VEN_DELL&DEV_ABCE Dell Radio Control Device ACPI\VEN_DELL&DEV_ABC6 Great idea for a thread btw!
