S mode will only allows you to install apps from Microsoft Store not from third-party apps.

I appreciate your time getting back to this thread, what do you mean when you say real programs, are those third-party apps and the source is outside Microsoft Store?
If yes, you can switch out from S mode.
Have a wonderful day ahead and stay safe.
Sincerely,
Carlo T.
