Windows 10: Error Trying To Switch Out Of Windows 11 S Mode

I had just recently purchased a new laptop. I have been trying to leave Windows 11 S Mode for quite a while. When I would use the Microsoft Store, I would get a message saying to “Try Again”. I have tried logging in and out, reseting the Microsoft Store, and even restarting my computer. But nothing works. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Error: Check with your IT or System administrator when trying to switch out of S mode

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you are getting an error, ‘Check with your IT or system administrator’ when trying to switch out of S mode. I’ll certainly help you with this issue.



However, please let us know:

• How are you trying to switch out of S mode?
  
• Are you using a University/School account to login to the computer?
  
• Where do you see the error "Check with your IT or system administrator."?
  
• 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.
  

I suggest you to refer the article on
Switching out of S mode in Windows 10 and see if that helps.



If you are using a University/School account to login to the computer, I would suggest you to create a new user account, login to Store using your personal Microsoft account and try switching out of S mode. Refer the article

Create a local user or administrator account in Windows 10.





If you face any issues, I suggest you to refer the steps mentioned below:



Reset Windows Store Cache:



Try resetting the Store and see if that helps.

1. Press Windows key + R. This will open
   Run. Alternatively, you can go to Start and search for ‘Run’.
   
2. In Run dialog box, type ‘wsreset.exe’ and hit
   Enter.
   

Note: A blank Command Prompt window will open, and after about ten seconds, the window will close and Microsoft Store will open automatically.



Re-register Store:



Run the PowerShell command to re-register store.

1. Press Windows + X keys together and click on
   Windows PowerShell (Admin).
   
2. Now type in the command and hit Enter:
   Get-AppXPackage *WindowsStore* -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\\AppXManifest.xml”}
   
3. Restart the PC.
   

Let us know the results.
