Hello! You can try to switch out of S mode by following the steps in the Microsoft Support link below. Search for ''How to turn off S Mode''.

Answer 3

To switch out of S mode on your Acer Aspire Go 15 running Windows 11, you can follow these steps:

1. Open Settings: Click on the Start menu and select Settings.
2. Go to System: In the Settings window, click on System.
3. Select Activation: On the left sidebar, find and click on Activation.
4. Switch out of S mode: Look for the option that says Switch to Windows 11 Home or Switch out of S mode. Click on it and follow the prompts to complete the process.

Please note that once you switch out of S mode, you cannot revert back to it. This will allow you to install applications like TurboTax and Google Chrome.

If you are unable to switch out of S mode through the settings, you may need to check if there are any restrictions set by your organization or if your device is managed by Microsoft Intune, which can control this setting.
