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 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.

    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:

    App & browser control in Windows Security (microsoft.com)
