    I want to switch out of S mode in Windows 11, but MS-Store won't let me


    Hey everyone,I would like to switch out of S mode on Windows 11. I tried using the regular method of 'system>activation>open store' etc, but whenever I try to open the store, I always get a message saying "The thing you're looking for isn't here". This happens when I open the store through the provided link in the windows settings and when searching the store manually. This didn't change after resetting the store or logging out either.I've already tried outmaneuvering the system by disabling secure boot in the bios menu, but windows still starts up in s mode anyways. I've reinstalled win

  2. Store Settings "Update apps automatically" won`t stay switched off. WHY?

    In Settings in Store I set "Update apps automatically" to Off.

    When I go back in again it`s set back to On. Why won`t it stay switched Off?

    How do I get this stupid **** to DO WHAT I TELL IT and SWITCH OFF?

    What`s the point of having a Setting that you can`t Set?

  3. What I need to do to allow windows 11 to install apps that do not belong to the MS Store

    Hello everyone,

    Can you help me to download apps which are not in the MS Store, my laptop has windows 11 and I´m following the above steps but send me an error message. Try that again, something happens in our end.

    Switching out of S mode in Windows 11:

    1. On your PC running Windows 11 in S mode, open Settings > System > Activation.
    2. Find the Switch to Windows 11 Pro section, then select the Go to the Store link.

      Note: Don't select the link under Upgrade your edition of Windows. That's a different process that will keep you in S mode.
    3. On the page that appears in Microsoft Store (Switch out of S mode or a similar page), select the Get button. After you confirm this action, you'll be able to install apps from outside Microsoft Store.
    In summary, what I need is to switch out of S Mode.

    Thanks in advance for your help

    Ivonne

    Store Settings "Update apps automatically" won`t stay switched off. WHY?

    Hi H. G.,

    The possible reason why Update apps automatically turn back on is that the Store app is running in the background. We suggest that you turn off the Store app. This way, it won't receive any updates or send notifications unless opened or turned on
    manually.

    To turn off Store app, follow these steps:

    • Click the Windows logo, then go to Settings.
    • Click Privacy, then Background apps.
    • On the list, locate Store and toggle it off.

    Let us know how it goes so we can further assist you.

    Regards.
