Airplane Mode turns on automatically

I am using an HP Pavilion 15 ab032tx laptop with Windows 10 and Ubuntu 20.04 dual boot.

Whenever I shut the lid down and then reopen it, the airplane mode turns on automatically.

Here is what I tried:

I tried to turn it off from settings but the toggle button is all greyed and I can't access it. I also tried

sudo rfkill unblock wifi

But it has no effect. I tried to put the HandleLidSwitch to ignore but that also didn't work. Also tried the solution in this question but it also didn't work.

Can someone help me?

Here's a workaround to allow you to create a hardware key fn+F10 to toggle Airplane Mode off after suspend:

Add this line to /etc/default/grub:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="acpi_osi=! acpi_osi='Windows 2009' quiet splash"

Then update your grub config:

$ sudo update-grub
