How do I turn off S mode in windows 10?  Microsoft support says the following but I don't show part 2 on my screen? 

  1. On your PC running Windows 10 in S mode, open Settings  > Update & Security  > Activation.
  2. Find the Switch to Windows 10 Home or Switch to Windows 10 Pro section, then select the Go to the Store link. Note: Don't select the link under Upgrade your edition of Windows. That's a different process that will keep you in S mode.
  3. On the page that appears in the Microsoft Store (Switch out of S mode or a similar page), select the Get button. After you confirm this action, you'll be able to install apps from outside the Microsoft Store.

    Hi Tenfigures1

    How are you? I hope you are doing good.

    Welcome to Microsoft Community :) I am Juliet, an independent advisor and a Microsoft user like you :)

    It's my pleasure to help you today. I know how frustrating this may be for you but I'll do my best to help you :)

    To turn off Windows 10 S Mode, click the Start button then go to Settings > Update & Security > Activation. Select Go to the Store and click Get under the Switch out of S Mode panel. Then click Install and wait for the process to finish.

    Take note that switching out of S Mode is a one-way process. Once you’ve switched out, there’s no going back. So, make sure that you want to disable S Mode for good before you proceed.

    Open the Windows Start Menu.

    Then select Settings.

    Next, click Update & Security.

    Then select Activation. You can find this in the left sidebar of the Settings window.

    Next, click Go to the Store. You’ll see this next to a shopping bag icon with the Windows logo. Clicking on it will open up a new window in the Microsoft Store that says Switch out of S Mode.

    Please let me know if you've already completed these steps or if they are not working for you. I will be glad to dig deeper into a solution with you.

    I hope it helps :) we'll be waiting for your update.

    Then click Get. This will be a blue button located just below the description.

    Finally, click Install and wait for the process to finish. Once finished, you’ll see a pop-up box that says, “You’re all set! You have switched out of S mode and can now install apps from outside the Store.”
