Windows 10: Can't get out of S Mode, Windows 11

I have an HP laptop that's fairly new. Recently I am unable to use some programs due to computer being in S mode. I can't get out of S mode. When I click on "Get" button the message states "working on it". Can't disconnect it. I've gone online and have tried all the basic steps I've seen listed. Windows update, clear microsoft cache, restart wuaserve, log in/out of store, created a new account, etc.My last resort is to redo entire computer. Wondering if there is any trick anyone has used that may not be part of "basic" steps I've seen? Thanks

1. Basic Troubleshooting

1. Check System Time and Date:
   
   Ensure that the time and date on your computer are correct. Incorrect time settings can cause issues with the Microsoft Store.
   
2. Update Microsoft Store:
   
   • Open the Microsoft Store app.
     
   • Go to "My Library" and select "Get Updates" to ensure all apps are up to date.
     
3. Reset Microsoft Store:
   
   • Press Win + R to open the Run dialog.
     
   • Type wsreset.exe and press Enter. This will reset the Microsoft Store cache.
     

2. Using Microsoft Account

1. Open Settings:
   
   • Press Windows + I to open Settings.
     
   • Navigate to System > Activation.
     
2. Switch to Windows 11 Pro:
   
   • Under "Switch to Windows 11 Pro," click "Go to the Store."
     
   • In the Microsoft Store, click the "Get" button to switch out of S Mode.
     

3. Advanced Troubleshooting

If the above steps do not work, you can try more advanced methods:

1. Reset Microsoft Store via PowerShell:
   
   • Open PowerShell as an administrator.
     
   • Run the following command:
     
     
   • Restart your computer and try switching out of S Mode again.
     
2. Reinstall Microsoft Store:
   
   • Open PowerShell as an administrator.
     
   • Uninstall Microsoft Store:
     
     
   • Reinstall Microsoft Store:
     
     
   • Restart your computer and attempt to switch out of S Mode again.
     

4. Disabling Secure Boot (If No Microsoft Account)

1. Access UEFI/BIOS:
   
   • Restart your computer and enter the UEFI/BIOS settings (usually by pressing F2, F10, Del, or Esc during startup).
     
   • Disable Secure Boot in the UEFI settings.
     
2. Save and Exit:
   
   • Save the changes and exit the UEFI/BIOS.
     
   • Your computer will reboot, and S Mode should be disabled.
