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.

2025-01-21T23:58:07+00:00 I did a factory reset and then I could remove it. Luckily I had downloaded anything or added any files to it yet, so I didn't have to re-download anything. Worked like a charm
