Windows 10 Thinks It's Running on a Mobile Device
-
I just reinstalled Windows 10 on my desktop after a disk crash. The problem is that Windows thinks it's running on a mobile device, for some reason. It shows the battery charge indicator in the taskbar, and it offers Airplane Mode, among other details. I suppose it's not a bad problem, but I'm wondering if there's a way I can make it know it's on a desktop. I do not know what to Google to find the answer. Perhaps someone could give me some search terms?
The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.

You might ask the manufacturer of your system (if it is not an old one). The Airplane mode exists also for desktop systems (at least when WiFi hardware is present). You might have a look at this thread (which I found by "windows 10 installation airplane mode"): Airplane Mode Windows 10 - Microsoft Community[^]. I have not read all posts but some mentioned that they had similar behaviours on desktop systems:

My PC is a desktop and doesn't have wireless or a battery. Then I realized that my APC battery backup had a USB cable plugged in to my PC. I removed the cable and rebooted my computer and both Airplane Mode and the Battery Saver options are gone.

Thanks! I have a UPS plugged into my machine too. That must be what's doing it. :)
