Windows 10: Switching out of S mode/ Try checking with your IT or system administrator

I just got this yesterday only to find out that I can't download certain things. I try to switch out of S mode but it tells me to check with an IT or system director. When I personally own this , such a waste of money

Error: Check with your IT or System administrator when trying to switch out of S mode

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you are getting an error, ‘Check with your IT or system administrator’ when trying to switch out of S mode. I’ll certainly help you with this issue.



However, please let us know:

• How are you trying to switch out of S mode?
  
• Are you using a University/School account to login to the computer?
  
• Where do you see the error "Check with your IT or system administrator."?
  
• Which build version of Windows 10 is installed on the computer? To check type:
  winver in the search bar on the Taskbar and hit
  Enter.
  

I suggest you to refer the article on
Switching out of S mode in Windows 10 and see if that helps.



If you are using a University/School account to login to the computer, I would suggest you to create a new user account, login to Store using your personal Microsoft account and try switching out of S mode. Refer the article

Create a local user or administrator account in Windows 10.





If you face any issues, I suggest you to refer the steps mentioned below:



Reset Windows Store Cache:



Try resetting the Store and see if that helps.

1. Press Windows key + R. This will open
   Run. Alternatively, you can go to Start and search for ‘Run’.
   
2. In Run dialog box, type ‘wsreset.exe’ and hit
   Enter.
   

Note: A blank Command Prompt window will open, and after about ten seconds, the window will close and Microsoft Store will open automatically.



Re-register Store:



Run the PowerShell command to re-register store.

1. Press Windows + X keys together and click on
   Windows PowerShell (Admin).
   
2. Now type in the command and hit Enter:
   Get-AppXPackage *WindowsStore* -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\\AppXManifest.xml”}
   
3. Restart the PC.
   

Let us know the results.

Error: Check with your IT or System administrator when trying to switch out of S mode

I want to switch out of S mode but when I try the button is not available and there is a message: "Check with your IT or system administrator."

My computer is personal and I am the only profile and administrator already. How can I transpose my problem?

System administrator and You Tube restricted mode

Hello,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

1. Are you using a local account or Microsoft account?
   
2. How many user accounts are there on the computer?
   
3. Do you have another administrator account on your computer?
   

I suggest you to refer the following link to Disable or enable Restricted Mode - Computer - YouTube Help for YouTube.

If you are having another administrator account on your PC, you can login to the administrator account and provide administrator access to the user account. Follow the steps mentioned below.

Steps:-

1. Tap on Windows + R on the keyboard.
   
2. Type netplwiz in the run box.
   
3. Under the Users tab, click on the
   user account and click on properties.
   
4. Under Group Membership, select Administrator from the list.
   
5. Click on Apply and OK.
   

Hope it helps.
