Windows 10: Does S mode make a computer any faster?

Hi,I recently got a Lenevo Ideapad 1, and it is in S mode. I got the PC because it if fast on a budget. A lot of the apps I need to run aren't on the MS store though, but I don't want to compromise my speed or computer safety. If I'm careful, is taking my PC out of S mode a good option?Thanks.

Internet Speed Faster in Safe Mode, Native Ookla App

From a SevenForums post by Samuria

Start your system normally

Get a command prompt. I would then suggest changing the directory to the root making the text files easier to find.

cd\

then the command

net start > norm.txt

This will list all services running in normal mode.

Start in Safe mode

Command prompt

cd\

then

net start > safe.txt

You can then compare these two lists. ( I might copy and paste text into a spreadsheet for comaprison purposes). I've google several articles and they all come back to an AV running in normal mode. I would check the list of services in normal mode. Could be an old AV that you removed but some component remains.

Cannot Enter Safe Mode / Computer boots normally

I'm running Win 10 Pro 1903.

Here are the steps I have taken to get into safe mode: Start button, settings, update and security, recovery, advanced startup, troubleshoot, advanced options, startup settings, restart. The computer boots normally, not in safe mode. Any suggestions would be most helpful. Thanks in advance for your help and interest. .
