Turn Off Windows 10 S Mode

How to Turn Off Windows 10 S Mode

To turn off Windows 10 S Mode, click the Start button then go to Settings > Update & Security > Activation. Select Go to the Store and click Get under the Switch out of S Mode panel. Then click Install and wait for the process to finish.

Take note that switching out of S Mode is a one-way process. Once you’ve switched out, there’s no going back. So, make sure that you want to disable S Mode for good before you proceed.

1. Open the Windows Start Menu.
2. Then select Settings.
3. Next, click Update & Security.
4. Then select Activation. You can find this in the left sidebar of the Settings window.
5. Next, click Go to the Store. You’ll see this next to a shopping bag icon with the Windows logo. Clicking on it will open up a new window in the Microsoft Store that says Switch out of S Mode.

1. Then click Get. This will be a blue button located just below the description.
2. Finally, click Install and wait for the process to finish. Once finished, you’ll see a pop-up box that says, “You’re all set! You have switched out of S mode and can now install apps from outside the Store.”
