Windows 11 - Can't switch out of S mode

Anonymous

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 was super mad at Microsoft. Even Lenovo staff could not resolve the issue. The easy solution is to go to registry and disable a service which I found on google. And it worked. Took less than a minute to solve this issue. Feels like Edge browser is really struggling to make their browser a monopoly and won’t let even Users to use Chrome or download any other softwares
