Windows 10: Windows s mode switch - I am the administrator

I have tried all the recommended methods to switch from S mode. I literally brought my laptop yesterday and have updated everything possible today. I am the administrator as it is my personal laptop. I have checked everything possible and the get button stays grey. I have tried options from other posts but it doesn't work/or I can not do on this computer. Please help

Error: Check with your IT or System administrator when trying to switch out of S mode

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you are getting an error, ‘Check with your IT or system administrator’ when trying to switch out of S mode. I’ll certainly help you with this issue.



However, please let us know:

• How are you trying to switch out of S mode?
  
• Are you using a University/School account to login to the computer?
  
• Where do you see the error "Check with your IT or system administrator."?
  
• Which build version of Windows 10 is installed on the computer? To check type:
  winver in the search bar on the Taskbar and hit
  Enter.
  

I suggest you to refer the article on
Switching out of S mode in Windows 10 and see if that helps.



If you are using a University/School account to login to the computer, I would suggest you to create a new user account, login to Store using your personal Microsoft account and try switching out of S mode. Refer the article

Create a local user or administrator account in Windows 10.





If you face any issues, I suggest you to refer the steps mentioned below:



Reset Windows Store Cache:



Try resetting the Store and see if that helps.

1. Press Windows key + R. This will open
   Run. Alternatively, you can go to Start and search for ‘Run’.
   
2. In Run dialog box, type ‘wsreset.exe’ and hit
   Enter.
   

Note: A blank Command Prompt window will open, and after about ten seconds, the window will close and Microsoft Store will open automatically.



Re-register Store:



Run the PowerShell command to re-register store.

1. Press Windows + X keys together and click on
   Windows PowerShell (Admin).
   
2. Now type in the command and hit Enter:
   Get-AppXPackage *WindowsStore* -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\\AppXManifest.xml”}
   
3. Restart the PC.
   

Let us know the results.

Airplane mode switch not working

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".

Get back to us if the steps won't work.

 

Settings can't be opened using the built-in administrator account


Hello,
Unfortunately I have the same issue as Dabz from upgrading win7 to win10.
I've tried opening settings using all the suggested methods and it will not load using my account with Administrator access nor the built-in Administrator profile. I also tried other methods not listed such as using Run. Control panel is just a stepping stone to add users in Settings.
I'm also having explorer.exe issues, which I believe is preventing Settings from loading.
Using cmd (Admin) I successfully created a new user profile [and granted admin access also using cmd (Admin)], however win10 will not allow this account to log on. win10 does not list this new user within control panel but it does in the start menu. win10 will not allow to log in or switch to the new account via the start menu either.
I can access settings in Safe Mode but this will not allow me to create a new account.
Any help/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
