Think MS is doing sneaky stuff since this upload! The HP with windows 11 home i got for my wife 2 days ago is just trying to sell me 11 pro.. :( .. New method must be needed since all uploads i can find are the same with the same problem for me at end..
@Dom Janeczko yeah I was thinking my wife had her Microsoft accounts mixed up. We have 5-6 systems always running between us and the kids. Guy at the store got upset that he couldn't even work it out and then swapped it for 1 worth a lil more for no extra charge. Win win in the long run.
You seriously need to be more famous because you make very good quality videos and reviews without makeing the videos very long and boring. Thanks for being awesome 👌
This is the ONLY video that people need to see. Hands-down ! This is the best comprehensive and user-friendly, and easy to understand and step-by-step tutorial. I watched other videos - and this is the VERY BEST video out there for this topic which is a very important topic. Thank you for your video. I followed your video step-by-step, and it was so easy to understand, and it was extremely effective. And they did exactly what you said it would do. Thank you very much. Please keep doing your videos. They are very informative and they are also very very user-friendly. If they were giving stars for CZcams tutorial how to videos on topics like this - I would give it 10 STARS 🌟 out of 5.
I thought I purchased a computer that moment my usage. I was so frustrated with the S mode! I needed to install a PDF on my computer, but couldn’t find one that worked with my system. Thank you so much for your video. It was simple and easy to follow, even for senior citizens like myself😅😁
I love your instructions. You made it so easy for me to follow and I got through it like a breeze. S mode sucks, and if I can't download what I want on the laptop I paid for I don't need it.
Thank you so much!! I learned how to remove it but got nervous after the "you can not pass!" and go back, which made me nervous. It's on my daughter's new laptop and I'm trying to get it ready for Christmas morning. I am too stupid to do so but you've made me feel better about it. For what she needs, we definitely need it off. I can't thank you enough. I hope you have a wonderful holiday and new year!
I am glad you found the video to be helpful. You are not stupid at all, Microsoft tries to scare consumers needlessly and lots of people are not aware of this. Happy New Year/Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones!
Thanks for this video. You went straight to the point, and I was afraid to remove the s mode because I was afraid that it would cause some type of issue with my computer, but I'm not afraid anymore to hit that Get button.😬
@@PMA1964 I was also afraid to switch out of S-Mode, I have been trying to decide for the past 3 months. This video helped a lot, and I'm sure I will be switching out of S-Mode. I just need to make sure I know which apps are certainly holding viruses. I'm so glad I found this video when I did, my friend was also asking me if S-Mode was worth it, now I know what to tell her. :D
@@cup1d199 Hi. I don't have any regrets. You may have to get a virus protector, I think it's called McAfee...that may be wrong. I have to work from home and I couldn't get my jobs app when I was in S-mode, and now I can. Thanks for your response 🙂
Thank you, im buying a laptop for my parents and while they are not tech savvy they do prefer some non microsoft apps. I did not want to teach them to use the microsoft alternative. This video was very concise yet still contain the information i was looking for in regards to what exactly the S mode is and how to turn it off with a visual guide (as their laptop will not be in english)
I was getting ready to return my HP with Windows 11 in S mode because it wouldn’t let me install my printer. THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO! I was so stressed out and almost in tears I was so frustrated with my computer lol
I'm a advanced computer user, but this goes to show you can always learn more as I just purchased a laptop for my mother that came in Windows 11 S mode. I printed out instructions just thought I'd watch a few videos to make sure I'm doing it correctly and it is simple and straightforward thanks to your video. Keep up the good work my friend. Thank you
You read my mind! I was hesitant to turn S mode off because I thought it would mess up my laptop. I searched for minutes and was unsuccessful to find the information I needed until I came across this video.
Thanks for the reassuring video. I am one of the ‘oldies’ who thinks that pressing the wrong button destroys the laptop and so has a tendency to hide from all this ‘Tech Stuff’. I followed your simple instructions and all done in a couple minutes and my laptop is still in one piece and works! Now I can install Chrome which I need for a part-time online job I’m starting. Many thanks 👍
Very helpful and concise, thank you. About to go help my neighbor get rid of this "only our products or else" mode on his new laptop so he can get the programs he needs.
Thank You!!! This 67 year old lady is not computer illiterate. I started out writing programming in dos however, this was hard for me to find. Thank you !!! You are the best!!! You made it easy!!!
I’m glad you benefited from this video! Your kind words are appreciated. I’m certain there are so many great things we can all learn from your 67 years of experience being alive ☺️
@@SoulOfTech Thank You! I can learn a lot from you too. Programs change, you made it simple and direct. Some programs are way to complicated than they need to be. So now I have your knowledge to get straight to what I need! Thank You again!!
Thank so much i was worried about buying a laptop with windows 11 s mode but not being able to download steam and play couple of games. You made it seem so easy and straight to the point!
hii, i need help, i cannot switch out s mode on windows 11, the ''GET'' button is missing on ms store but in activation setting the S mode is still active, can anyone help how to fix this ? thanks
Something has changed, brand new HP laptop with windows 11 home 2 days old out of box from Jb-hifi Australia.. Only try's to sell me pro... All turn off s mode videos are useless from what i see.. F@ck you Microsoft :( .... Had no problems with the laptops from 2 years ago. My pro windows 10's desktop builds where done as said back when i built them
This is the best CZcams description video I've seen in almost a decade probably. It should be used in classes about how to make this sort of video. I don't usually comment but I can't stress enough how much everyone in CZcams who does this needs to learn from you how to make a real helpful tech video
You are the absolute best in explaining this. I couldn’t follow any of the others that tried to explain this.…so glad your channel came up. You should teach this. I’ve subscribed to your channel and hope to learn more. Thank you for your help!!!
Thank you SoulOfTech, this is eloquently said. I appreciate the care and patience you took to thoroughly assist others step by step! Now I can join my zoom to see my fam and friends in Trinidad!!!!
Thank you for such a detailed, and easy to understand video. I’ve been looking for a new laptop, and keep seeing people being this up in reviews. I definitely do NOT want what is essentially a chrome book.
Thank you so much. I really needed this video because I wanted to download things outside of the Microsoft store but was worried about what that would mean.
hello, I have a small issue. I discovered this ''Get'' button to switch out of S mode yesterday, I clicked on it hoping it would be removed in seconds or a couple of minutes, but it just kept saying ''Working on It'' for an entire night and even more hours since I let it working, went to bed and when I woke up it was still ''Working on It''. Please answer, I don't know what to do. Thanks.
If it still hasnt done it, try closing the Microsoft store app if it will let you, and then go back in and try again If it wont let you, then try rebooting the computer, and then go back in and try again
I actually believe that S Mode is good idea for the not tech savy, maybe your grandparents and kids. But not for everyone else it is very limited, if my mother didn't use spss and other similar software I would be very happy to have S mode in her computer, she has given me the greatest troubleshooting challenges throughout the years.
I'm kind of both... I'm not particularly tech savvy, but I know not to open or install unknown things. I just bought an Authentrend fingerprint sensor from Amazon but I can't use it because of S mode. So I'm considering turning it off... but I haven't decided yet.
My issue is that I turned it off, but after a certain update, it turned right back on, which I don’t get, since it’s a “one way and never go back” type of thing. How do I fix this issue?
Hi dear I have hp amd ryzen and I want to disable s mode in windows 11 . I did the way you show in your video it doesn’t help me in my setting when I go to activation and Get option button is not working . Can you please help me out . Thank you
Great video, great explanation and appreciate the video. My dad wants to buy a laptop and I noticed it had Win11 S mode and didn't know what that was. I think for my dad's purpose I may leave S mode enabled for extra protection. Thanks again.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I’m definitely subscribing now! Now I can play sims 4! I was up last night in TEARS I had bought a hp computer just to play the sims 4 and it kept telling me I had to switch out of s mode but I didn’t know what it was!
Can any1 help please great video everything works but my app store won't load up because I can't connect to Internet because the drivers will not update because of safe mode . Help yhanks
Thank you for removing the "imaginary speed bump" that if I left MS Land, I'd be lost forever!!! So frustrating to be denied the apps and access I've been using since the Internet began!
It did not work. I hit 'Get' but it never says "Working on it...". I do get a larger pop up window that never fully loads for a few minutes and then it goes back to having the blue "Get" button.
Hi MS servers were down yesterday, try again after restarting and let me know if it works. If not please see the forum below: answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/s-mode-get-button-will-not-work-and-i-cant-get-out/0ced73e9-27b1-47fc-b195-f7df63252d02
The big thing I want to know is for all gamer out there: does s mode make games run smoothly, and is your computer at risk of failure I'd you turn it off?
Thanks for this excellent explanation! I especially like how you explained the pros and cons of keeping or getting out of S mode. I wanted to make sure it would be safe to get out of S mode and you did a great job of answering my question. Thank You!!
Thank you very much. This video is very useful for me because i wasn't sure if i should exit S mode. But since now that you've showed what it's for and how to remove it, i pretty feel freer now.
Awesome, thanks. I'm annoyed with myself for not finding a great video like this and getting this done quick. Clearly a little scam by Microsoft to try to keep people in their stuff (e.g., Edge), vs. much better options.
ثانكيووو شكرا جزيلا لك كنت اعاني من عدم تثبيت التطبيقات شاهدت جميع الشروحات بالعربي ولكن لم اجد الحل ... طبقت هذه الخطوات البسيطة والسهلة وبالفعل نجحت معي .... شكرا ❤
I am keeping the S mode on my Surface Go 3 to maintain the current good performance and the adequate battery life. I only used the tablet for browsing, MS Office, and media consumption.
Thank you, I will be getting a windows 11 laptop for Christmas and I've been wondering what to do when i get it and how to remove s mode, so thank you this helps me a lot :)
Thank you so much 🙏 , my wife has online exam tomorrow morning ., I just brought new lap top for that and exam can only be taken through Google Chrome and it was very frustrating other videos didn’t help at all , thanks for ur video able to remove the s mode and was able to download google chrome , and run a automatic system check for the test , thank you ur very articulate ❤ keep up the good work 😊
@K E V O oh I just realised, it’s already off, and that’s because u already turned it off and some games won’t let u because they might not be suitable for your age lol
Thanks man. I will definitely be opting out of S mode. It's my understanding if you go back to factory reset you will have S mode back if you really want it. Although I have seen comment where people say this isn't true.
So this is a problem I’m facing, I had a Lenovo idea pad literally today and it wouldn’t let me switch out of that. Every time I hit “go to Microsoft store” I never got the get button to show up. Only when I tried to download a non Microsoft app did I get the prompt to switch out of s mode, then it would take me to the store and show me the get button only to not do anything when I clicked it. I thought it could have been the laptop, so I just bought a new one about an hour ago. Set it up and tried to switch out of s mode and when I click s mode in the activation settings, it doesn’t expand at all or give me the link to the store. So I tried to go and get the get button by downloading a non Microsoft app to get the prompt telling me to switch out of s mode. Which worked but when I click on the “get” button it still doesn’t work.
Thank you so much for sharing this video I got a new laptop today and I pay attention to s mode and I was wondering what would happen if I got out of it
right, simple and objective video tutorial but in my situation the laptop does not have wireless or wired internet, I need to install it but I can't because it is in only mode S
Thank you for the informative video! We are grandparents but don’t need S Mode. We appreciate your clear explanation of S Mode and why it’s safe to disable it.😂
Hey. Thank you for your video ... it's amazing, however, I have an issue When I clicked on the "Get" button in Store, the button disappeared ... like, poof, gone .. and my PC still hasn't switched out of S Mode. I restarted and all, but it's still not working. Anybody got some help?
Mission Log: 2023-March-28 ... It's not working again. "Seriously though Microsoft ... this ain't it." I have another friend's laptop here with the SAME ISSUE as before. This time, the "Get" button exists, but it's grayed out and unclickable. For context; YES, I've scoured help forums and they didn't talk about this issue. I'd really appreciate some help right about now.
I think you're being incredibly generous in your S mode description. In all actuality, S mode is microsoft's way being able to extremely limit what your PC can do by copying Apple and forcing people to only use apps they make money on. You will be using what app they tell you to use, how they tell you to use it, with very few, if any, choices of apps for a specific function. Microsoft says they are doing this to keep the system safer, if it didn't contribute heavily to the number of apps they sell, and the amount of money they can make when a person could otherwise get a free app, they wouldn't bother.
Thank you so much, I got a Windows 11 for Christmas and I wanted to download stuff but I couldn’t so I found this video and you helped me! Again, thank you so much!
Great video! I have a question though, that I hope you know the answer to. I’m on a Lenovo Ideapad 3 15ITL6, trying to switch out of S mode. Despite following the same instructions repetitively, I am met with nothing when I press “Get”. Do you have any idea how to adverse that, and switch out of S mode? Thank you.
Hi good question, it can be a number of reasons I would look at the forum below for additional help: answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/s-mode-get-button-will-not-work-and-i-cant-get-out/0ced73e9-27b1-47fc-b195-f7df63252d02
I just had to say thank you so much for this video!! I thought I was going to go crazy with this frustrating "S mode". This is a very helpful and useful video.
If you PC is new... return it and get one that does not have S mode. Ask for that specifically. Walmart employees won't have a clue. Go to Office Max. Their prices are competitive
Thank you very much. I was so mad I was going to return the computer to Amazon. Worked over two hours trying to kill the App Store. I needed to down load programs that were important. My friend who was working on this problem found you on You Tube. thank you again..............................................................
I know it's a little late but thanks bro, couldn't figure out what windows s mode really was or if it was super important, your help is much appreciated!!!
Interestingly enough I was trying to get a client's new laptop out of the S Mode about a month ago and could not. Kept getting this message over a couple of days. "Try again Something happened and we couldn't start the upgrade" I never did get it out and the client had to return the computer to amazon. Fortunately the return went well.
Great video!!! I was trying to install McAfee and was getting very frustrated as I had upgraded to Windows 11. Only to find out I was in Windows 11 S mode. I call McAfee support and said they do not support that. Now that I took my pc out of S mode according to your instructions …. I can install McAfee.
I don't usually subscribe or give a like or even comment but this guy deserves it 👏 I just clicked to se how to remove s mode and he gave me what I wanted and more If thats was my choice, very appreciated my guy keep it up

That’s exactly why I’m trying to get out of S Mode Lmaoo to play sims 4 💀
Thank you so much. I watched several videos about this situation and yours was the fastest and most simple fix!
Great to hear!
Can any1 help please great video everything works but my app store won't load up because I can't connect to Internet because the drivers will not update because of safe mode . Help yhanks
Thank you for removing the "imaginary speed bump" that if I left MS Land, I'd be lost forever!!! So frustrating to be denied the apps and access I've been using since the Internet began!
Glad I could help!
If I disable s mode on one of my accounts, will it disable it for my other accounts as well?
It did not work. I hit 'Get' but it never says "Working on it...". I do get a larger pop up window that never fully loads for a few minutes and then it goes back to having the blue "Get" button.
Same issue. I'm about ready to send this POS laptop back
Same here
Hi MS servers were down yesterday, try again after restarting and let me know if it works. If not please see the forum below:

It did work!
@@EastCoastEntrance Perfect im happy for you :)
The big thing I want to know is for all gamer out there: does s mode make games run smoothly, and is your computer at risk of failure I'd you turn it off?
Thank you for the great tutorial! I had difficulty figuring it out on my own, despite much effort! I am a new subscriber.
Thanks for the sub glad to be of help!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Why did it take me so long to find you. All the other videos were long, drawn out and complicated. You're my hero!
Comments like these make me even more thrilled to make future videos! Thank you 😊
I dont normally comment on videos but THANK YOU!!!!! You have saved me for the craziness of the S mode!
Glad I could help!
Thanks for this excellent explanation! I especially like how you explained the pros and cons of keeping or getting out of S mode. I wanted to make sure it would be safe to get out of S mode and you did a great job of answering my question. Thank You!!
Glad I was of help :)
Thank you very much. This video is very useful for me because i wasn't sure if i should exit S mode. But since now that you've showed what it's for and how to remove it, i pretty feel freer now.
Glad it helped
super helpful and straight to the point! was helping set up my moms computer (she couldn’t get zoom to work) so i’m happy to fix things.
Super happy to been of help! Hope you'll consider subbing to the channel
Thanks so much! I just got this laptop and my school requires certain things to be downloaded. The laptop seems almost faster now too!
Glad I could help!
Awesome, thanks. I'm annoyed with myself for not finding a great video like this and getting this done quick. Clearly a little scam by Microsoft to try to keep people in their stuff (e.g., Edge), vs. much better options.
Glad it helped
ثانكيووو شكرا جزيلا لك كنت اعاني من عدم تثبيت التطبيقات شاهدت جميع الشروحات بالعربي ولكن لم اجد الحل ... طبقت هذه الخطوات البسيطة والسهلة وبالفعل نجحت معي .... شكرا ❤
Thank you I was struggling to download games, and didn’t know what S mode really was.
glad to be of help!
I am keeping the S mode on my Surface Go 3 to maintain the current good performance and the adequate battery life. I only used the tablet for browsing, MS Office, and media consumption.
Thank you so much!! I have been trying to look for a video like this without using the advanced apps button.
Glad I could help!
Thank you, I will be getting a windows 11 laptop for Christmas and I've been wondering what to do when i get it and how to remove s mode, so thank you this helps me a lot :)
Thank you so much 🙏 , my wife has online exam tomorrow morning ., I just brought new lap top for that and exam can only be taken through Google Chrome and it was very frustrating other videos didn’t help at all , thanks for ur video able to remove the s mode and was able to download google chrome , and run a automatic system check for the test , thank you ur very articulate ❤ keep up the good work 😊
Glad I could help you and your wife! Good luck on her exams.
Wait- but when I go into activation thing it dosent say
@K E V O oh I just realised, it’s already off, and that’s because u already turned it off and some games won’t let u because they might not be suitable for your age lol
Thanks man. I will definitely be opting out of S mode. It's my understanding if you go back to factory reset you will have S mode back if you really want it. Although I have seen comment where people say this isn't true.
Same question
So this is a problem I’m facing, I had a Lenovo idea pad literally today and it wouldn’t let me switch out of that. Every time I hit “go to Microsoft store” I never got the get button to show up. Only when I tried to download a non Microsoft app did I get the prompt to switch out of s mode, then it would take me to the store and show me the get button only to not do anything when I clicked it. I thought it could have been the laptop, so I just bought a new one about an hour ago. Set it up and tried to switch out of s mode and when I click s mode in the activation settings, it doesn’t expand at all or give me the link to the store. So I tried to go and get the get button by downloading a non Microsoft app to get the prompt telling me to switch out of s mode. Which worked but when I click on the “get” button it still doesn’t work.
Thank you so much for sharing this video
I got a new laptop today and I pay attention to s mode and I was wondering what would happen if I got out of it
Glad I could help!
right, simple and objective video tutorial but in my situation the laptop does not have wireless or wired internet, I need to install it but I can't because it is in only mode S
OMG! THANK YOU SO MUCCHH! i've looked at more than 3 videos on how to do it ! and this worked,it's so simple!!
Glad it helped! Hope you'll consider subbing.

Glad I could help!

Hey. Thank you for your video ... it's amazing, however, I have an issue
When I clicked on the "Get" button in Store, the button disappeared ... like, poof, gone
.. and my PC still hasn't switched out of S Mode.
I restarted and all, but it's still not working.
Anybody got some help?
whoa....
What didn't work?
I need to know before I mess up my work Surface Book by following this video? What's the issue? I have a Surface Book 2
It's the funniest thing ... but after restarting again, it just worked .......
Mission Log: 2023-March-28 ... It's not working again.
"Seriously though Microsoft ... this ain't it."
I have another friend's laptop here with the SAME ISSUE as before.
This time, the "Get" button exists, but it's grayed out and unclickable.
For context; YES, I've scoured help forums and they didn't talk about this issue.
I'd really appreciate some help right about now.
THANK U SO MUCH I LOVE THIS I WAS FR ABOUT TO CRY IF I DIDNT GET MY LAPTOP FIXED
Hey man i appreciate you this solved my problem and u were the only truly helpful vid . Thanks
Glad I could help
I think you're being incredibly generous in your S mode description. In all actuality, S mode is microsoft's way being able to extremely limit what your PC can do by copying Apple and forcing people to only use apps they make money on. You will be using what app they tell you to use, how they tell you to use it, with very few, if any, choices of apps for a specific function. Microsoft says they are doing this to keep the system safer, if it didn't contribute heavily to the number of apps they sell, and the amount of money they can make when a person could otherwise get a free app, they wouldn't bother.
Thank you for this critical information. Just did this on a laptop
Thank you so much, I got a Windows 11 for Christmas and I wanted to download stuff but I couldn’t so I found this video and you helped me! Again, thank you so much!
My absolute pleasure, I’m glad I could be of help 😁
Great video! I have a question though, that I hope you know the answer to. I’m on a Lenovo Ideapad 3 15ITL6, trying to switch out of S mode. Despite following the same instructions repetitively, I am met with nothing when I press “Get”. Do you have any idea how to adverse that, and switch out of S mode? Thank you.
Hi good question, it can be a number of reasons I would look at the forum below for additional help:
answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/s-mode-get-button-will-not-work-and-i-cant-get-out/0ced73e9-27b1-47fc-b195-f7df63252d02
I just had to say thank you so much for this video!! I thought I was going to go crazy with this frustrating "S mode". This is a very helpful and useful video.
You're very welcome! Please consider subscribing for more content like this :)
Hello sorry for asking but I really don’t know what to do. After i clicked the “Get” button it only said “Try Again”
Help pls 😢
If you PC is new... return it and get one that does not have S mode. Ask for that specifically. Walmart employees won't have a clue. Go to Office Max. Their prices are competitive
this is great information! much appreciated. I was in urgent need of an exam and could not figure out the Smode situation on my new laptop.
Glad to be of help, hope you will consider subbing!
I just spent hours trying to figure out if it is a bad idea to just deactivate S mode, thank you very much for the awesome explanation!
Glad it helped!
Thank you very much. I was so mad I was going to return the computer to Amazon. Worked over two hours trying to kill the App Store. I needed to down load programs that were important. My friend who was working on this problem found you on You Tube. thank you again..............................................................
I’m glad I could help you!

I need to know before I mess up my work Surface Book by following this video? What's the issue? I have a Surface Book 2
I know it's a little late but thanks bro, couldn't figure out what windows s mode really was or if it was super important, your help is much appreciated!!!
Glad I could help
Thank you! ; your pro and cons were great at helping with understand the S mode
Glad I could help!
Interestingly enough I was trying to get a client's new laptop out of the S Mode about a month ago and could not. Kept getting this message over a couple of days.
"Try again
Something happened and we couldn't start the upgrade"
I never did get it out and the client had to return the computer to amazon. Fortunately the return went well.
Thank you so much for your easy to figure out video. You seriously saved me a big headache!!!
My pleasure!
Great video!!! I was trying to install McAfee and was getting very frustrated as I had upgraded to Windows 11. Only to find out I was in Windows 11 S mode. I call McAfee support and said they do not support that. Now that I took my pc out of S mode according to your instructions …. I can install McAfee.
Glad it helped!
It doesn’t show for me to turn off S mode when I open the App Store, can you please tell me what to do
