    Microsoft Store won't let me switch out of S mode


    Just unboxed a new computer running Windows 11. I tried to switch out of S mode, and I kept getting "Try again" / "Something happened and we couldn't start the upgrade."I have installed all the updates and still getting the same response.

    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?

    Switch Out of S Mode Not Working in Microsoft Store

    I finally was able to fix this "Switch Out of S" issue. It is not obvious so I wanted to share.

    First, the issue is with the Microsoft Store, not the device. Here are the steps...

    • Open the Microsoft Store app
    • Click on the "..." at the upper right of the screen
    • Choose "Downloads and Updates"
    • Scroll down to the Microsoft Store app and click to update
    The update downloaded to my new Surface Go.

    Then on your device...

    • Go to your device's Windows Settings
    • Select "Update & Security"
    • Select "Activation"
    • Select "Switch Out of S" and go to Microsoft Store
    • Once there you will be able to make the switch
    Talk about painful...

    Good luck,

    Paulette
