Windows 10: Unable to Switch Off S Mode

I just bought a brand new laptop, a Lenova Ideapad 3, straight out of the box, and nothing, nothing I do undoes the entirely useless waste of time S mode. I've updated Windows 10 and the Windows shop and still I get the same error message "Something happened and we couldn't start the upgrade"??? Okay??? Why the hell not??


Fix this.
