Windows 10: If I switch out of Windows 11 Home in S mode, will I be left with Windows 11 Home or no OS...

If I switch out of Windows 11 Home in S mode, will I be left with Windows 11 Home or no OS at all?

:)

 

How can I switch my windows 11 S mode to normal windows since I don't have a link to switch out of S mode ?

To disable S mode in Windows 11 and switch to the regular Windows 11 version, follow these steps:

•Open the "Settings" app.

You can do this by pressing the "Windows" key, then clicking the gear-shaped icon in the Start menu.

•In the Settings window, click on "System."On the left sidebar, select "About."Scroll down to the "Windows specifications" section.

•You will see a "Switch to Windows 11 Home" or "Switch to Windows 11 Pro" link, depending on your edition. Click on this link.

•A window will open with information about switching out of S mode. Click the "Get" button.

•Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the switch. You may need to sign in with your Microsoft account or create one if you don't have one.

•Once the process is complete, your Windows 11 S mode will be disabled, and you'll have the regular Windows 11 Home or Pro edition, depending on your choice.

With above process, when I located the S mode, there was no link to switch out of S mode ? What do I need to do ?

 

3DMark 11 v1.0.4 Released, Now Fully Compatible with Windows 8

Futuremark updated 3DMark 11 to version 1.0.4, which makes the benchmark fully compatible with Windows 8. The update also addresses other compatibility issues and a few uncommon bugs. Benchmark scores are not affected and scores from this new version can be compared with scores from the previous version 3DMark 11 v1.0.3.





DOWNLOAD: 3DMark 11 v1.0.4
Improvements:

• Keyboard focus is no longer checked during the demo or when running the benchmark in a loop. Note that if the display switches to the desktop due to a popup window during the benchmark, the run will still be aborted as the display mode is no longer the same.
• 3DMark 11 now remembers the last custom resolution used.
• GPU count detection for multi-GPU systems is now correct even when SystemInfo is explicitly disabled.
• 3DMark 11 will now prevent Windows from entering Sleep during the test.
• The license key is now reset when the benchmark is reinstalled, allowing removal of invalid keys.

Compatibility:

• SystemInfo updated to version 4.15 for full Windows 8 compatibility.
• Updated DirectX redistributable.
• Now using static Visual C++ 2010 runtime libraries to fix rare installation issues on some systems.
• Removed dependency on EvaDotNet.dll and EvaDotNet.DirectX.dll for GPU enumeration to fix compatibility issues with some systems.

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed display initialization code that caused "SetFullscreenState failed: DXGI_ERROR_NOT_CURRENTLY_AVAILABLE" errors on some systems.
• Fixed several memory and texture leaks, improving stability during very long looping runs.
• The HUD timer no longer rolls over if a single test takes more than ten minutes. (Yes, this could happen during the Combined Test on some low end DirectX 11 cards.)

Professional Edition Only:

• Fixed submitting saved files to 3dmark.com from the command line.
• Image Quality Tool no longer gives a cryptic error if the output directory does not exist.

 

Windows 11 laptop switching to tablet mode and locking up

I have an hp Pavilion laptop 2-in-1. I upgraded to Windows 11 a few months ago. Now and then, the computer switches to tablet mode for no reason (I'm not rotating the computer). It freezes up, and it takes several restarts to get back to normal display. Suggested solutions for disabling tablet mode in Windows 11 haven't worked for me. How can I make this stop?
