S mode allows only apps from Microsoft Store to be installed, and requires Microsoft Edge for safe browsing. Disabling S mode will allow you to install 3rd party applications such as Electric Quilt on your computer. Disabling S mode does not make your computer insecure, as long as you the user do not download and install unknown and unsigned applications from the internet.
Please note: Computers cannot be switched back into S mode.
Click the appropriate link below to switch your computer out of S mode.
If you get the message, “Get apps from Store.”
Here is how to resolve that…
- Click Start > Click Settings
- In the Settings window, click Apps
- In Apps & Features, change Choose where to get apps from The Microsoft Store only (recommended) to Anywhere.
- Close the Settings window.
The change will only take effect when you close the window.
