Can't switch out of S mode: "Try that again"

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 tried the S mode way were you have to activation, and it still wont work. This is a new pc.

Other users have found a reinstall fixed it.

I'm sure it's mentioned previously in this thread.

Other threads on the same subject offer different ideas.

Did anyone ever find a way around it? I just bought a Lenovo laptop and it's doing the same thing to me. I have updated every single app on the PC, restarted the PC several times, searched google for a fix, and done everything else I can think of but it still says "try again".

Please let me know how you got around it, please and thank you! I need this laptop for my job, I recently got promoted and am trying to set everything up before work in the morning.

Got my new laptop today. Having the same issue. It is driving me nuts!

To remove it properly without it coming back ring MS Support and hopefully find the right tech that fixes it in one go.

But no one should have to go through this painful experience! MS, you suck!
