    Is it safe to leave S mode to install things?


    Hi I just got brand new HP Envy 360 laptop, and even after two hours on help i could not get simple browser downloaded. insane. turns out i have to end S mode to install anything not verified by Microsoft--including even Google Chrome! Crazy. Is it a risk to stop S mode, do I lose security protection? Please advise. This seems completely crazy if I can't simply get some browsers I like using.

    :)
