Hello,I'm unable to switch out of Windows 11 S Mode. It just gets stuck at the following screen for ages: I've tried technical support through MS but they were unable to resolve. Any idea how to resolve this as I'd like to install a reputed VPN and not the ones that are available on the store.thanks,Habib.
