  1. Switching out of S-Mode but store is "working on it"


    I have a week old computer -- everything is updated -- it WAS switched out of S Mode the day I got it, but this morning it has reverted to S Mode and now the store won't move past "working on it" when I press the "get" button. I've tried searching for solutions and see none - I've tried contacting customer support but it doesn't seem to be forthcoming. Any ideas? I HAVE already reset the store a few times and restarted the computer a few times.

    :)

    Since the troubleshooting steps that were provided did not resolve the issue, we suggest switching on the Radio Management Service. To do that, please follow the steps below:

    • Press Windows key + R.
    • Type services.msc, then hit Enter.
    • Search for Radio Management Service.
    • Right-click, then choose Start.

    Note: Never ever set this service to "Disabled".

    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
