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.

    You should make it clear that you cant switch back into s mode and make it so u can switch back into s mode .

    Hi there - thanks for the reply and feedback, LolaMartin.  The Store page shown before Switch mentions that the Switch is one-way, and that PCs cannot return to S mode.   As a suggestion, you might consider using App & browser control settings along with Windows Defender and Windows Security to ramp up the security profile of your PC, even when not in S mode.

    Hello, I'm very worried about my lap top's security and it not being in S mode. I wasn't aware that I could not redo it. Is there any way to get it back? especially without me having to pay/buy anything?

    Hi there, Jon.  Switching out of S mode is a one-way operation; once you've switched, you cannot return to S mode.  

    A full re-installation of Windows from a recovery image that includes deletion of all System partitions has been recommended by some Support professionals, but in general, you cannot return to S mode once you've switched.
