  1. Computer Being Held "S Mode Hostage"


    I bought a new laptop and for some reason it's automatically in S Mode. So naturally, I go to turn off S Mode only to be given an error code when WIndows Store opens, says "something went wrong on our end." When I take to the search bar and type in "Switch out of S Mode", I click on the result and it tells me the page doesn't exist or something. How can I get out of S Mode when Windows is throwing a tantrum like this?
