Windows 11 - Can't switch out of S mode

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

    There should be a health warning on laptops with Windows 11 S.

    After 1 day and a half, I tried again and it worked! On my way to install Duckduckgo!
