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?

Windows for home | Windows 10 | Microsoft Store

    You need to make sure the you are running MS Store version: 11906.1001.24.0

    in order to be able switch out from S Mode

    Sometimes even though after update the MS store to the latest version you could face this other issue:

    In that case you will need to download the ISO file and run the Setup from Sources Folder [That will be like Custom Install].

    When this process finish The Get option will not be longer grey out and you can switch out from S Mode.

    Latest version of what? Windows? Or the Microsoft Store. Found out today that Microsoft Store is a thing and it can be updated.

    This worked for me on 2 new HP laptops. Updated the Microsoft Store then tried to install Google Chrome. Went through the steps to disable S mode and blank screen of bull**** was gone. Able to disable S mode. This type of computer hijacking is purely an attempt to extract cash from Windows users. At some point we need an option to buy an unfu***d version of Windows. Even if it costs more, this BS is wastinf everyone’s time and business resources. Spent 48 hours trying to unfu** my new laptops.

    I tried that, got my laptop up to the latest version, which was nice, but didn't resolve the blank screen in windows store.

    Good luck with your machine.
