I spent months trying to get to this point in my life and it has severely hindered me in school because we use zoom and in my business because I need editing software. I happened upon your video and am relieved and thankful for it. Have a blessed day.
I have tried EVERYTHING I can find on the internet... NOTHING WORKS. Every time I go to the store I get that GD "something happened and we couldn't start the uograde". I F'ing HATE microsoft!
Finally! Thank you Dr Rick, I’ve literally spent nearly an hour and a half trying to sort this until I found your video and it took two minutes! Subscribed!
This no longer works. Microsoft has eliminated the app at the Microsoft Store. When you click on "Get" an error message comes up and states, "Something has happened and we couldn't start the upgrade. The "Try Again" button does nothing.
Omg thank you I just brought new gaming laptop and couldn’t download ea launcher but your video was helpful everyone else video wasn’t straight to the point
Please help. This doesn't work for me. I press GET and the button changes to TRY AGAIN no matter how many times I try. I have a brand new ASUS laptop with Windows 11 S Mode and I have made sure that everything is updated.
Found something that worked for me. I disabled Secure Boot, then logged in, then changed the SKUpolicy setting from 1 to 0 in the Windows registry, then downloaded Chrome and set as default browser, then re-enabled Secure Boot. Laptop is normal now.
Thank you so much ! I've been trying to switch out of S mode for the longest time now and its all thanks to you that I can now play different games, Thank you again Dr. Rick !
It does not work for me, there is a small white screen that's pops up and vanished almost immediately. Any idea? I heat Microsoft! next time I go Ubuntu.
Thank you Thankyou you are the Dr. I was racking my brain on how to do this and you saved me from a headache . I saw lots of video's yours was the only one that was 123. Thank you .🥰😍🤩 Hugs be bE SAFE.
Hello. I just purchased a HP Chromebook, and realized I cannot install Microsoft Windows. Is this a good laptop. I noticed that the OS is Microsoft Edge, and I like Google. Please give me some advice.
Instead of restarting the computer reset it from the settings then when ur computer boots back up pause all windows downloads then u can follow these same steps from the video and it will work 💯
A lot of people that are having trouble disabling S mode I think it has to do with their hard drive size Any of the notebooks / laptops that I experience that had an issue normally had a 64 GB hard drive. However the ones that had 128gb and above had no issue. So maybe it has to do with the required space

@dr rick. it look like this was done while logged in to ms windows account so this why was easy and quick. what about people who cannot or will not have ms windows account?
THANKS!! My question is a dumb one, but I am going to pull the 'old lady card'... now that I am out of "s" mode, must I have an anti virus program on the computer?
NEED HELP. I have watched so many video following step by step including this one. Each time I click “get” to switch out of S Mode it says, “something happened and we couldn’t start the upgrade.” What do I do?
I got you homie, here’s what I did to disable S Mode. 1.) Click 'Restart' (to restart the computer) while pressing the 'Shift' key. 2.) Click 'Troubleshoot' 3.) Click 'Advanced Options' 4.) Click 'UEFI Firmware Settings' 5.) Click 'Restart' when prompted (this will take you to the BIOS settings, note that only arrow keys are used to navigate the BIOS) 6.) Using left/right arrows, go to 'Security' tab and press 'Enter' key 7.) Using up/down arrows, go to 'Secure Boot' option and press 'Enter' key (this will let you enable/disable the secure boot) 8.) Press 'Enter' key to disable secure boot 9.) Press 'F10' to save changes 10.) Press 'Esc' to exit 11.) Make 'S Mode' your bitch and disable that shit 12.) Repeat steps 1-10 to re-enable secure boot
Great video. The problem for me is when I go to activation setting and they say exit s mode when I try to click on the Dropbox to go to Microsoft store, it does not allow me to. So, I am stuck and have no idea what to do.
I tried following these instructions to get out of S mode on my new Windows 11 laptop and it required that I purchase Windows 11 Pro for $99.00 in order to get rid of S mode. Have you heard of this happening and do you know of any way around it?
When I click open store it takes me to the microsoft store but the page for disabling s mode doesn't show up, it shows an error message saying Something went wrong on our end Please help
Im still having issues as it is saying: Try again- at the bottom it says: something happened and we couldn't start the upgrade im all updated as i have just brought a new laptop. Where do I go from here as ive been trying for a few hours?
I followed easily step by step but keep getting a try again response and ‘something happened and we couldn’t start the upgrade’. Any ideas on what could be the problem?
I have done this and turned off secure boot, and tried switching it out in the offline mode. And no matter when I do it won't switch out. What is another way I can try to switch out?
here is how i did it. i tried everything on youtube but nothing worked. you need to reset the pc or laptop completely after that continue with instalation. then when asked to sign in just click i have no account and enter a name just name then click next, later on you need internet connection sign in but do not click connect automatically, after accept the extra options like location and diagnostics all of them when done installing do not do anything except going straight to the microsoft store from the start menu and nothing else go to switch s mode and select get. it will ask to sign in your ms account then sign in but only then. after that it either you will get error message because you would get disconnected (reconnect internet_ )and try again that is how it worked for me I believe there is something wrong with newer version of the store. if you try to download anything and run it it would start ms store update and run it newer version of crap store. i hope this will help
I have watched several other videos on this topic. You are the first and only one that fixed this issue for me. Thank you!

Same, Fuck microsoft. The person that thought up s mode should be judged by a jury of their peers.
Found something that worked for me. I disabled Secure Boot, then logged in, then changed the SKUpolicy setting from 1 to 0 in the Windows registry, then downloaded Chrome and set as default browser, then re-enabled Secure Boot. Laptop is normal now.
Thank You!!!! I was so frustrated with S mode that I was going to return my new laptop that I love except for S mode. It was a deal breaker.
Omg thank you.
Looked at 5 other videos and no one had a clue I was pulling my hair out. Thanks a ton!!!!!!!

After watching 5 other UA-cam videos this is the one that did the trick. Thank you very much. S Mode what will they think of next. SMH.
YOU DA REAL MVP! Hate these damn new laptops with Windows 11.
A lot of people in the comments including myself are having the error of “ try again, we couldn’t start the upgrade” is there a fix to this ?
It still doesn’t allow to switch out of s mode. It indicates: try again something happened on our end.
I am having the same issue! UGH!

When i hit GET a screen comes up and wants me to sign into or sign up a MS account..Now what do i do..
This video is not helpful.
Just bought a new laptop. Thank you!!... Gave you a like and a sub. Man that is super annoying! LOL
It is not working for me. When I click of the “Get” it says try again and you are not able to. Can someone help me regarding this issue?
S mode doesn’t show up as an option for me what do I do?
Lifesaver you are, thanyou kindly my friend ❤
nah i hop you of the best of luck bro i hope zou have a nice life i have been trying to find how to do it for year thank you man
I've been trying to switch out of S mode per MS method, the problem is that method continues to fail, I'm sure that is by design.
thank you this was helpful
Thank you so much.... You solve it
here is how i did it. i tried everything on youtube but nothing worked.
you need to reset the pc or laptop completely after that continue with instalation.
then when asked to sign in just click i have no account and enter a name just name then click next,
later on you need internet connection sign in but do not click connect automatically, after accept the extra options like location and diagnostics all of them
when done installing do not do anything except going straight to the microsoft store from the start menu and nothing else go to switch s mode and select get.
it will ask to sign in your ms account then sign in but only then. after that it either you will get error message because you would get disconnected (reconnect internet_ )and try again that is how it worked for me
I believe there is something wrong with newer version of the store. if you try to download anything and run it it would start ms store update and run it newer version of crap store. i hope this will help
Thanks man it did work 👌
