Ubuntu 20.04 stuck in airplane mode

Question

I have HP Pavilion laptop model 11-n00ea. I have Windows 10 and dual boot it with Ubuntu. I started with 16.04 then upped to 18.04 and now running 20.04. The wifi works perfectly with Windows 10, but in Ubuntu 20.04 it's stuck in airplane mode and the key to disable this brings up a black box which tells me Hardware Airplane.

I have tried many ways to get this to work including reinstalling the RT3290 driver.

When I plug a wifi USB dongle in however, the airplane button works, but still I cannot turn on wifi for both of the cards. I am wondering if I somehow disable the built in wifi card, I might be able to use a wifi USB dongle?

Output for sudo nmcli d :

For sudo rfkill list:

With USB dongle in:

sudo nmcli d

lo               loopback  unmanaged    --    

With ethernet unplugged:

sudo nmcli d
DEVICE           TYPE      STATE        CONNECTION 
enp4s0           ethernet  unavailable  --

wlx1cbfce2300e7  wifi      unavailable  --         
lo               loopback  unmanaged    --       

Clicking on the right-hand top corner arrow gives me:
