Thank you for your bug report, is that specific to the system settings panel? can you use the network indicator to connect?

Hello

It was impossible to turn on wireless connections with any ways. The flight mode indicator would always be on no matter how hard I tried to switch it off.

After installing the updates for the OS and reloading the laptop, the problem solved itself. Now all working. No major changes made by me.

Thanks, good to know things magically resolved themselves in the end for you somehow.

Closing this old ticket as unverified.
