Windows 10: I am unable to switch out of S mode

I've been trying to switch out of S mode for about ten minutes now, and I am unable to do so. When I click 'Free' and enter my PIN, it will remain grey for a few seconds before the 'Free' button returns to being blue; however, when I've tried to click the button again, it does not respond.


I've tried restarting the Microsoft Store already, and I've tried restarting some sort of service in the Task Manager that was recommended by another user. I just need to get out of this S mode so I can download programming software for school!
