  1. Switching out of S mode


    I bought a Lenovo laptop for our son for Christmas. It currently has windows 10 in S mode. While setting it up for him i found out that some of the games he plays can’t be downloaded while running S mode. I realized switching out of S mode is a one way street so I’m being cautious about it. I’ve done some asking around and was told that 4GB Ram is not going to be enough to run the device in full Windows 10. I also saw some suggestions to do a “clean install” of Windows 10 to eliminate some of the bloatware. I also read that having an SSD could compensate for the lack of Ram. The laptop RAM is not upgradeable. Could anyone give me some advice on what to do? Here are the specs: Processor Brand: AMD Processor Type: AMD Ryzen 3 4300U Hard Drive Capacity: 128 GB Processor Core Type: Quad-Core Manufacturer: Lenovo Product Line: Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 14ARE05 Processor Speed: 2.4 GHz manufacturer_part_number: 81x2000hus Wireless Technology Bluetooth, 2 x 2 802.11AC WiFi RAM Memory 4 GB Maximum RAM Supported 4 GB Operating System Windows 10 in S Mode Battery Life 10 h Model 81X2000HUS Screen Size 14" Brand Lenovo Features NVM Express (NVMe) Operating system: Windows 10 in S Mode Processor: AMD Ryzen 3 4300U Quad Core Processor Display: 14.0" FHD IPS Touch Display Memory: 4GB DDR4 3200MHz OnBoard RAM Internal storage: 128GB 2242 m.2 NVMe SSD Storage Graphics: Integrated AMD Radeon Graphics Optical Drive: None Battery Life: Up to 10 Hours Audio: 2 x 2.0W Speakers with Dolby Audio DAX3 Wireless: 2 x 2 802.11AC Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Combo Webcam: 720P Camera with Privacy Shutter and Dual Array Microphones

    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".
