⚜️ S-mode is an additional set of restrictions in Windows that is intended to protect you. Most people want to get rid of it.
⚜️ S-mode?
S-mode restricts Windows to only installing apps from the Microsoft Store and forces Edge to be used as the default browser. I believe it’s too limiting for most users, but it can protect those prone to risky behavior. Once you turn S-mode off, you cannot turn it back on. Avoid buying devices with S-mode unless necessary.
