I recently purchased a Microsoft Surface Go for travel, and although I'm enjoying it thus far there is a need to switch out of S Mode to install one or two additional programs. I've followed all of the steps to reach the "Switch Out of S Mode" screen in the Microsoft Store, however, the page never loads. Instead, it shows a blank store screen. Is there any other method to reach this area of the store?
Additionally, I've tried prior to updating Windows and after updating Windows with no luck.

S mode SUCKS!! Who's idea was this to hamstring people from installing apps THEY choose??
It's August 2020 and I am also having this issue. I have updated the Store and still no luck switching out of S mode. I actually had the computer set up out of S mode, Chrome and Zoom installed and working great. The next day it reverted back to S mode and I am also getting the error message "Try again later." Something happened on our end."
Maybe make S Mode an option as there is only a small percentage of users that can source exclusively from the Microsoft Store?

This doesn't work. It just perpetually says "working on it"...
