Question

windows home 11 s mode wont switch - microsoft store says try again later

Answer 1

Hello,

Many users have reported this issue during the last few days. Microsoft hasn't officially put out any information achknowledging this issue at the moment, but I am not surprised that the issue is on Microsoft's end, not on user's end.

The typical fix usually is to reset the store app via Settings > Apps > Installed Apps > Microsoft Store app.

Or relink msft account:

Go to Settings > Accounts > Your info

Click on Sign in with local user instead. follow the steps and finish the rest.

(If you don't see the "sign in with a local account instead option, click on "Stop signing into Microsoft apps automatically" first, then relaunch this page. )

Restart the computer (Do Not skip)

Go to Settings > Accounts > Your info

Click on Sign in with Microsoft account instead. follow the steps and finish the rest

Restart the computer (Do Not skip)

===========

But if neither of those helps, I strongly suggest avoid taking anymore aggressive approach as it can bring on unnecessary new issue, and hopefully a fix is implemented by Microsoft soon. Such same issue happened in the past from time to time and often was short lived.

If you're experiencing issues switching out of Windows 11 in S mode and the Microsoft Store is prompting you to try again later, there are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot the problem:

1. Check Internet Connection: Ensure that your device is connected to the internet, as switching out of S mode requires an internet connection.
2. Try Again Later: Sometimes, the Microsoft Store may experience temporary issues. Waiting a while and trying again can resolve the problem.
3. Change Region Settings: Some users have found that changing their region settings to the United States can help resolve issues with the Microsoft Store.
4. Restart the Device: Restarting your computer can sometimes clear up any temporary glitches that may be causing the issue.
5. Check for Windows Updates: Make sure your Windows is up to date, as updates can fix bugs related to the Microsoft Store.

If the issue persists, you may want to consult Microsoft support for further assistance.
