If you have a Windows 11 PC or laptop, you may have noticed that it comes with S mode. S mode can be frustrating as it limits what you can install on your computer. However, there is a simple way to disable S mode and unlock the full potential of your device.
Before you begin, keep in mind that if you got your laptop from your company, college or you’re not the administrator, you may not be able to disable S mode. But if it’s your own laptop, then it’s effortless to do this.
To disable S mode, first, open your settings application. You can do this by typing “settings” in the search bar, or by clicking on the Start menu and then clicking on the gear icon.
Once you’re in the settings, you need to click on “Activation” under the “System” tab. Here, you’ll see an option to “Switch out of S mode.” Click on this option, and it will open the Microsoft store.
In the Microsoft store, click on “Get” under “Switch out of S mode,” and it will allow you to download and install apps from outside the Microsoft store. Keep in mind that once you make this change, it is permanent.
After clicking “Get,” you may need to wait a moment or two for the switch to occur. You will need to log in with your Microsoft account and follow the on-screen instructions.
Once complete, you will have successfully disabled S mode on your Windows 11 PC and can now install any app you need.
