When I follow the steps in the Microsoft Store to try to switch out of S mode, all I get is a message:

"Something happened and we couldn't start the upgrade"

and a Try Again button.

    Hi Kevin,

    I'm curious, how many times do you think you tried before it finally worked? I've updated everything I can and have tried it at least 20 times and still get the Try Again.

    Thank you,

    Tim

    Been having the same problem since yesterday. Gonna be 24 hours in about 4 hours, so, fingers crossed. Tried everything I've found online. Even disabled security boot. Someone linked a YT video some pages back with a tutorial for turning off S Mode with an account, but I couldn't finish it because I couldn't access my C drive on the advanced settings...other than that, tried everything. Factory reset twice. Hoping it'll work soon, because it was a brand new laptop that I can't return...

    Tried all the things yesterday no success. Today turned it on and hit the Get button and it worked. No clue didn't do anything different. Mom had a computer didn't do any of the steps and tried tonight and got out on the first attempt...possibly it was a server issue over the weekend.

    Everybody, please start returning your computers to the stores and put a STOP to this foolish from Micrsoft.

    When I buy a automobile the salesperson doesn't take in the back to help install the engine!
