  1. How to prevent Windows from installing in S mode


    I am wondering if it is possible to permanently switch out of Windows 11 S mode. I purchased a computer that came with Windows 11 Home in S Mode preinstalled, which I reimaged to install Windows 11 Pro. However, that was a whole issue in and of itself because the Windows would always install in S Mode. This forces me to enter Audit Mode and use PnPUtil to install the network drivers to be able to switch out from the Microsoft Store.

    C windows installer folder - Delete?

    He can do symbolic link redirection and move the files in it to a different location. *Wink How to prevent Windows from installing in S mode ;)
    Better try it out in a virtual of first. Just a suggestion.

    Like:
    First move everything in c:\windows\installer to d:\installercache
    Then delete c:\windows\installer folder

    mklink /d c:\windows\installer d:\installercache

    Removing those installer files is a bad idea. it might prevent you from updating or uninstalling apps.
