Windows 10: Stuck in S Mode - no option to change it - 'get' button is greyed out. HELP PLEASE...!

I cannot switch out of S Mode. This is what I see when I try:






I have followed all guidance on the various threads on this issue. To confirm:

• I am using Windows 10;
• all Windows updates are installed and fully complete; all the latest versions are running;
• I am signed in as an administrator with full administrator privileges;
• I have checked settings to ensure that there are no work or school 'associated' accounts;
• I have updated / reset Windows Store;
• I have rebooted and even completely reinstalled Windows;
• I have even upgraded to Windows 10 Pro.

STILL I can't get out of S Mode. The same greyed-out box above shows notwithstanding all the above steps.


Some suggestions on this site have mentioned potential fixes via the CMD prompt - but I can't use those methods because the S Mode prevents use of CMD...!!!


I have a son with an expensive gaming PC who cannot use VR headsets/software or access other things because of Windows being stuck in S Mode. He is really upset because this problem has been there for a while now. I’m also really upset because: a I have spent hours and hours trying to fix this; b it has basically rendered an expensive PC almost useless.


What is going wrong?! Why can’t this be fixed?!


Thank you

:)

 

Stuck in safe mode in windows 10

Safe mode is intended to help fix most, if not all problems within an operating system, it's not good if we got stuck on it. To correct this, we suggest that you follow the steps below to exit out of Safe mode:

• Open Run command by pressing Windows key + R
  keys on the keyboard and type msconfig in the command box and press
  Enter.
• Under General tab, put a check on Normal Startup option.
• Reboot the system and check if the changes are effective.

Let us know if you are able to exit out of Safe mode with these steps.

There are a lot of possible causes why your laptop/computer was stuck on airplane mode. To isolate the issue, we
have some questions for you:

Cannot Enter Safe Mode / Computer boots normally

I'm running Win 10 Pro 1903.

Here are the steps I have taken to get into safe mode: Start button, settings, update and security, recovery, advanced startup, troubleshoot, advanced options, startup settings, restart. The computer boots normally, not in safe mode. Any suggestions would be most helpful. Thanks in advance for your help and interest. .
