I rebooted my laptop and noticed the network icon in the taskbar has changed from a signal meter to an airplane. It took time for it to display available networks properly instead of just toggling airplane mode. This seems like a Windows update issue since I can't find a way to revert it. The new icon feels less useful, and I've disabled all Windows updates by default. Anyone else experience this, or do you know how to fix it?

Tap the airplane icon and turn off flight settings. Alternatively, if your notebook has a toggle that turns off Wi-Fi, disable it.

It's not in airplane mode at all. I've changed it multiple times, but the airplane icon keeps showing up.

I believe it occurs on shared connections too, though I'm not entirely confident.
