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.
Switching out of S mode : Blank screen
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?
