I have a dual boot system with Ubuntu 12.04 installed within windows 8 (C drive).
Wifi was working fine, both in ubuntu and windows until yesterday, when I disabled wireless in ubuntu by unchecking the "Enable Wireless" button from the top panel. I wasn't aware that this option was bugged. It went grey after unchecking it, so I couldn't click on it to re-enable it. I looked up for solution to turn the wireless back on and I found a solution.
I followed the steps below:
Use the command "rfkill unblock all".
Uncheck "Enable Networking" from the top panel.
Check "Enable Networking" from the top panel.
Check "Enable Wireless" from the top panel.
The wifi is working in ubuntu after that. However, I cannot enable wifi in windows.
The following image shows that the Wifi is off.

The following image shows that Wifi adapter is enabled and the diver is working fine.

So I guess I need the "rfkill unblock all" equivalent command in windows to fix this. Any other solution which you think can fix this will be also be appreciated.
