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.

it didn't even let me do anything. when i clicked "mount", it immediately gave me this message. read my previous message, i have already described the trouble. even the full reinstallation of the system didn't help me. the only thing to do for me is just to wait.
i don't know what should i do anymore, even editing the registry didn't help.
Or clean install wiping everything from the internal drive.
Same . I tried all the previous things but finally the reinstall of windows is what did it . I did have to go back in and click switch from s mode but then it finally didn't give me an error. Spent wayyy too much time having to mess with this but happy I can not use my computer how I want.
IT FINALLY WORKED. i have wasted more than a day trying to get out of this ****. the installation of all updates windows update has offered me helped, probably. or it was just a matter of time. -2147483648/10 experience, the absolutely WORST ANTI-USER PRACTICE I'VE EVER SEEN.
