4.) Complete deactivation of airplane mode versus standard deactivation!


 
The "Complete Airplane Mode Disable" refers to an advanced method to completely disable Airplane Mode on a Windows 11 system so that it cannot be activated after a reboot. This is achieved by changing the registry settings that permanently disables the service that is responsible for airplane mode.

In contrast, the "default disable" refers to the normal Windows 11 user interface, which allows users to enable or disable Airplane Mode. This is usually done through Quick Settings or the Network & Internet menu in System Preferences.

While the default deactivation is temporary and easily reversible by the user, the "Full Deactivation" is a permanent change at the system level that cannot be easily reversed unless the appropriate registry settings are changed again. This advanced method is usually used by users who want to make sure that Airplane Mode remains disabled on their system due to some reasons.
