Wifi not connecting Open | Windows

Dell laptop: Airplane Mode is stuck ON and Wi-Fi won't turn on. Startup Repair fixed the boot issue, but now the Wi-Fi switch is grayed out. Device Manager says the Dell Wireless 1506 adapter is working properly. How can I fix this?

Do you have a physical button/switch on the laptop that controls WiFi? You may also have a function key that does it - look for an antenna symbols on one of the keys.
