I accidentally turned on Airplane Mode on my computer while remoting into it. I’m currently 200km away. What should I do?

I’m using Windows and was connected to my computer remotely. While using it, I accidentally turned on Airplane Mode. The remote session disconnected immediately. I don’t think I can reconnect unless someone physically turns Airplane Mode off.

Is there any way to recover from this remotely, or am I stuck until someone can access the machine in person?

For the future, what’s the best way to prevent this from happening again?

Edit:
– As some people suggested, i asked chatgpt to write me a python script that periodically turns off Airplane Mode and turns Wi-Fi back on. It’s doable, so I’ll run it on my remote computer.
– I will invest one on KVM or smart plug or Ethernet.
– I ordered a pizza, he will help me turn it on 😃

– For anyone curious about how it happened: I turned off Bluetooth, which made the icon freeze for a moment. Then it disappeared and the Airplane Mode icon showed up in its place, and I accidentally clicked it.

Thanks!!!!!
