CAN YOU PLS PUT ME BACK IN S PLS
Hi there,
While you cannot return to S mode once you've switched out, many of S mode's protections can be enabled through the Windows Security app and settings. Please try enabling those protections whether your PC is currently in S mode or not.
Hi Abdur,
I understand. I mentioned earlier in this topic that once a PC has switched out of S mode, S mode cannot be reenabled. There are some alternatives available though! Try enabling app & browser control settings in Windows Security for some of the protections S mode offers.
App & browser control in Windows Security (microsoft.com)
Let us know if that helps!
So then how do I reinstall and go back. I really need to go back to s mode.
okay but i tried to reinstall windows and do a factory reset and it wont let me because it says i dont have enough space. ive only had the computer for 2 weeks and have uninstalled everything i downloaded since i got it and it still wont work reset to s mode.
Hi BRandonCArnes1,
Sorry to hear you're having trouble. Once a PC has switched out of S mode, S mode cannot be reenabled.
As I mentioned in my reply earlier, you might try enabling additional app & browser control settings to strengthen the protection of your PC. Read more here:
