After reviewing multiple posts on the internet, I still cannot find a solution that will allow me to toggle AirPlane mode for Windows 8 from either CMD or PowerShell.
Does anybody have a solution that expressly uses either of these options?

@paulsm4 the url http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/24541-airplane-mode-off-shortcuts-create-windows-8-a.html I was aware of, but I wanted specifically a command that can be run from the powershell, or CMD, as it needs to be run remotely without getting up a whole desktop each time – Danijel-James W Dec 04 '13 at 04:41

I am not aware of a way to toggle the airplane switch. But you can easily turn off all your radios using powershell in windows 8 using the Network Adapter Cmdlets
Use Get-NetAdapter to see all your adapters, bluetooth\wifi\ethernet
Get-NetAdapter
You can disable a specific adapter by its index\name\description:
Disable-NetAdapter -Name "Wi-Fi"
Or you can just disable them all like so:
Disable-NetAdapter *
And turn them back on
Enable-NetAdapter *
Note: You will need to run Powershell as admin to execute the Disable-NetAdapter and Enable-NetAdapter

1C:\>powershell.exe -Command "Enable-NetAdapter *" and the opposite seems to work for me. :-) – Danijel-James W Dec 04 '13 at 07:46

Add `-confirm:$false` if you don't want to confirm. (in cmd: `powershell.exe -Command "Enable-NetAdapter *" -confirm:$false` ) – JinSnow Jun 01 '19 at 06:34

This disableds the interfaces in windows, which is not the same as turning of radio. – NiKiZe Dec 06 '20 at 08:48
