Airplane mode in Windows doesn't disable the Internet

Symptoms

Enabling Airplane mode in Windows should disable network in the virtual machine but it doesn't happen.

Cause

Enabling Airplane mode is considered to disable all wireless connections but a virtual machine doesn't have its own WiFi adapter.

It has its own virtual network interface card (NIC) linked up with a virtual cable to a virtual network commutator that can be connected to a host network card or a network adapter.

Resolution

 

Alternatively, you can use the macOS means or any other third-party software to achieve the same results.
