    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.

    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.

    @edd2184 Місяць тому

    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

      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

    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
