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.

    I kept trying over several days (at different times of day and night) and several restarts and I was finally able to switch out of S-mode. I wish you the best!

    Well done Heather. Your patience has been rewarded. Life is difficult enough without all this unnecessary effort.
