  1. Can't remove Windows S mode


    I have a new laptop a family member sent me from the USA, it came with Windows 10 Home in S mode and I have found no way to remove it... Can't remove Windows S mode :(

    The Microsoft Store fails each time I attempt to use it...

    The main problem is that to open the store to disable S mode, it always fails and shows nothing or different error messages, I believe is my country internet blocking the Microsoft store or being blocked by the Microsoft store.

    I have tried upgrading everything that the Windows Update says needs to be upgraded and it still fails. The Microsoft store won't open the page to switch out of S mode no matter what and I have run out of ideas to try.

    I decided to try to reinstall windows 10 and I have done a backup installation, clean installation and reinstalling windows 10. and every time it installs once again with Windows 10 Home in S mode.

    The only thing I haven't tried is to erase the hard drive and install windows 10 from scratch, but I fear it will install in S mode.

    Does anyone know what else I can try?

    This laptop is useless to me in S mode, I can't install any of the programs I would use at my job to work with the laptop if it can only install programs from the Microsoft Store ....

    I HATE Microsoft, Windows 10 S Mode and whoever thought it was a good idea to block a computer and the only way to unlock it was using an internet service

    I am sad, tired and angry after more than 10 hours of failed attempts. I don't know what can be done... I feel like my money was wasted and I got an overpriced brick ...

  3. New FF - passwords

    Hi:

    If that setting is already enabled, then I suggest as the next troubleshooting step might be Mozilla Safe Mode (not to be confused with Windows Safe Mode)):

    Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode | Firefox Help


    • Please report back and let us know the outcome, as it will dictate the next steps.
    • Also: please tell us what AV/AM/firewall programs are you running on this system?

    Thanks,
    MM
