I recently purchased a laptop that came with the S mode of Windows. On the first startup it automatically installed Windows 11 (so downgrading to 10 is not an option). After set up etc. I updated Microsoft Store and installed various Windows updates and tried to switch it out of S mode. Instead, for the past few hours and with each of the hundreds of attempts, I keep getting a window that says "Try that again. Something happened on our end. Waiting a bit might help" along with an error code that changes every time. I am burned out and all out of ideas, any assistance on the matter will be greatly appreciated.

I have the same problem1 I got an hp 15.6in laptop windows 11 and I can't really download any apps unless they're from Microsoft store. can't play Roblox nor download steam. I reset my laptop too and NOTHING! it is really frustrating because I would like to enjoy myself on this laptop but knowing I can't sign out of s mode to fix this issue is annoying.
Try their email: ******@mail.support.microsoft.com
Yes--we are all following the instructions. This is so sus.
Same problem, this is ridiculous......Who does MS think they are, telling me what I can and cannot install on my laptop.
Of course, their customer support is non-existent, so I am stuck with a paper weight unless by some miracle I get a call back.
I'm not hold my breath.

would not recommend
Same but I landed someone that knew what to apply to remove it, good luck everyone and bad play Microsoft, very unethical and I would never speak highly of after this poor form!
