Windows 10: Can I Switch Out of S Mode With A Second Account On The Same Computer Without Switching Out...

I am confused. My computer has S Mode and I want to switch out of it with one account on my computer but not the other. Is it possible to continue using S Mode on one account but not on the other? Am very curious! thank you

Switching out of S Mode

I am having trouble switching my laptop out of S Mode. I went through the steps that are listed, and the Windows Store is updated and it won't let me click Get when you go to the screen to switch out of S mode.

 

Airplane mode switch not working

Since the troubleshooting steps that were provided did not resolve the issue, we suggest switching on the Radio Management Service. To do that, please follow the steps below:

• Press Windows key + R.
• Type services.msc, then hit Enter.
• Search for Radio Management Service.
  
• Right-click, then choose Start.

Note: Never ever set this service to "Disabled".

Get back to us if the steps won't work.

 

Unable to Switch out of S mode

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



We understand the issue you are facing in switching out of S mode, we will look into this for you. However, we will need the following information from you:

• When you say, “I have installed a fresh version of windows 10 on my pc and was put into windows S mode because of not having a windows key at the time” is Windows 10 activated on the computer currently?
  
• Do you get any error message/code?
  
• 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.
  
• What is the make and model of the computer?
  
• Did Windows 10 S come pre-installed on the computer?
  

In the meantime, I suggest you to refer the steps mentioned below and check if that helps:



Method 1: Reset Microsoft Store



You can try resetting Microsoft Store and check if that helps. Type
wsreset in the search bar on the Taskbar and hit
Enter. A command prompt window will open and reset Store. Once done open Microsoft Store and try switching out of S mode.



Method 2: Sign out and Sign in



You can also try signing out and signing in back to the store and then try switching out of S mode. Follow the steps mentioned below:

1. Open Microsoft Store, click on the
   profile icon and select Sign out.
   
2. Now, click on the profile icon again and select
   sign in.
   
3. Follow the on-screen instructions and sign in with the account.
   

Method 3: New user account



If Method 1 and 2 doesn’t help, create a new user account, sign in to store with the Microsoft account and try switching out of S mode. Refer the article
