Whenever I open the Microsoft store to switch out of S-mode. A Button reading "learn more" appears, however whenever I click this the store loads a completely blank gray screen, is there another option to switch out of S-mode, or is the link to the store broken?

    Having the same issue. Picked up a laptop yesterday, blank screen on the store when trying to switch. Called support last night and they told me to call Lenovo, so I got a good laugh.

    S mode has to be up there with one of the dumbest things I've ever experienced on Windows.

    I'm having the same issue and it's really pissing me off--makes me want to never buy another Miscrosoft product. Everything else in the store is working fine, so it makes me wonder if this glitch is intentionally crafted by MS to thwart users from downloading Chrome and competing with Bing.

    Hi jeffshover,

    My name is Pedro. I'm an Independent Advisor trying to help.

    Give a try to this.

    Make a right-click on the Windows taskbar and go to Task Manager > Services > find wuauserv > Make a right-click on it and Restart the service.

    Then go to the Microsoft Store and go to Switch out of S mode again and see if this time works.

    Regards.
