Windows 10: S Mode Followup

Curious that I posted a question about getting out of S Mode to this - the General Support forum and within the first hour I'd received 6 replies. Then some moderator moved my topic to Installation & Upgrade, where it has now gone 23 hours without a single response.

It was difficult not to get the feeling that nobody here believed me - I must be doing something wrong. I was told to follow links or to search youtube for answers, 'answers' that I'd already investigated and found to be completely nonproductive. When I pointed this out, the post was moved and the topic began its slow descent to the nether regions.

Not being able to give my friend any encouragement about switching out of S mode, he returned the laptop to the store.

It does little for my friend at this point, but here is an article that might be of interest, an article that forum responders should be acquainted with.

New FF - passwords


Hi:

If that setting is already enabled, then I suggest as the next troubleshooting step might be Mozilla Safe Mode (not to be confused with Windows Safe Mode)):

Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode | Firefox Help

• Please report back and let us know the outcome, as it will dictate the next steps.
• Also: please tell us what AV/AM/firewall programs are you running on this system?

Thanks,
MM
