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?

    Same issue on new surface go. I deleted the partition and installed a new windows 10 iso. I went to activation, then the 'go to store' button under s mode. It took me to the store and I was then able to get rid of s mode.

    Great. I was having the same issue as everyone else on this thread. Now, after installing updates again, I can't even get back to the blank screen. Clicking "learn more" under "Switch out of S mode" now links to the Microsoft Store homepage, and searching in the store for S-mode yields no results. Did Microsoft take that page down completely??

    I have the same problem.  Spent hours trying to figure out how to get the Microsoft Surface Go I just purchased at Best Buy out of S Mode.

    Have followed the instructions here - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4456067 and tried numerous things but nothing works.  The Microsoft Store page opens but it is blank and there is nothing on it.  I do not see the "Switching out of S mode" anywhere.  I have tried searching for it but nothing.

    Please advise.

    Bought a Acer 2 in one laptop today and having the same issue. What a joke! Why own a computer with no 3rd party programs?! What a ridiculous idea. Won't reiterate the issue, its exactly the same as above, Want to turn off S mode and cant through the microsoft app store as it comes up with a blank screen.
