It can be useful if you are using a laptop on an airplane, but it can cause issues in other situations. While you can disable it in settings, it can be turned back on accidentally by users, or a bug may enable it. But, if you are an administrator, then it can be permanently disabled so that it cannot be turned back on. This article will show you how.
The steps in this article work on Windows 11 as well.
